Most support a four-port hub system, but hubs using 16-port hub controllers are also available in the industry. although some 16-port hub actually consist of four cascaded four-port controllers. Additional features on some hub controllers include control of port LEDs (sometimes automatic, sometimes under control of the host PC) and PS/2 to USB conversion for mice and keyboards.

Famous quotes containing the words electronic and/or design:
“Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“You can make as good a design out of an American turkey as a Japanese out of his native stork.”
—For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
