VIA has announced their world’s first USB 3.0 hub controller, VL810, at CES. The VIA’s VL810 USB 3.0 hub controller has one upstream USB 3.0 port and four downstream USB 3.0 ports, enables up to four high-bandwidth USB 3.0 devices connected to it at the same time.
The VIA’s VL810 SuperSpeed (USB 3.0) hub controller will potentially be the guts of many future USB 3.0 hubs that offer four USB 3.0 ports for your USB 3.0-compliant gadgets. It’s also backwards compatible with other USB specifications including USB 2.0 (480Mbps, Hi-speed), USB 1.1 (12Mbps, Full-speed) and USB 1.0 (1.5Mbps Low-speed).
