The rotatable USB downstream port is able to vertically circle upward from the groove, convenient for small-scale peripherals to plug in. Besides, it can be stored horizontally into the groove on the housing after rotating 90-degree downward. The improved USB hub is space-saving, convenient for plugging in and pleasing to the eyes.
