1. A connector hub system, comprising:

  • a first body with a plurality of downstream connectors accessible from a surface of the first body, at least one of the plurality of downstream connectors comprising a slot for receiving a universal serial bus connector;

    a second body with an upstream connector operatively coupled to the plurality of downstream connectors, the upstream connector comprising a serial connector head;

    a first hinge that allows the first body to rotate to a first set of predetermined positions within a first plane, the first hinge being adapted to maintain the first body in a user selected one of the first set of predetermined positions until the user affirmatively moves the first body to another one of the first set of predetermined positions; and

    a second hinge that allows the second body to rotate to a second set of predetermined positions within a second plane, the second plane being perpendicular with respect to the first plane;

    wherein the first and second bodies are configured to be folded into at least one compact shape while retaining accessibility of the downstream and upstream connectors.
