3 Port USB 2.0 Hub HAT with Ethernet for Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi projects are always exciting and are certainly some of the easier projects for Makers interested in Electronics and Coding due to the vast amount of resources, libraries and other goodies available from other Makers and online communities. However, even the most advanced software can’t always be the solution, and sometimes you may need expanded functionality from Raspberry Pi HATs like this 3 Port USB 2.0 Hub HAT with Ethernet.

Raspberry Pi Boards are one of the most versatile and capable development board for standard users and the specialising needs of Makers as well. But even with all this great functionality, somehow it seems most Raspberry Pi’s are lacking in USB ports for all the different modules and accessories we want to use. The 3 Port USB 2.0 Hub HAT with Ethernet for Raspberry Pi is a fantastic solution to the classic “not enough USB Ports” problem and throws in an all-important internet connection. By connecting this one HAT module, you’ll enjoy 3 extra USB spots for your headphones, mouse, and keyboard! The incorporated Ethernet chip and port also allows you to connect your Tinkerer Project to the internet with 10/100M auto-negotiation which means you can enjoy the ease of no manual configuration needed to get your internet connection working.

You don’t have to sacrifice one of your USB 2.0 Hub HAT’s extra 3 ports to run it. The 3 Port USB 2.0 Hub HAT with Ethernet has a micro-USB connector perfect for connecting to any board able to use a USB cable connection like the Raspberry Pi 4B, and pogo pins designed for direct connection with Raspberry Pi Zero series boards. Waveshare has ensured to design this Ethernet and USB 2.0 Hub HAT for old and new Raspberry Pi’s to give you the right fit no matter what development board you have. This makes for a simple and painless setup process as you’re able to screw your new 3 Port USB 2.0 Hub HAT with Ethernet under your Raspberry Pi for a secure connection, ready to plug-and-play, and without preventing other HATs connections as you further develop your wonderful Raspberry Pi Project with more HATs and Accessories.
