A 7 port USB hub is a device that plugs into a single USB port on the computer and offers 7 additional USB ports. This would be used in the event that a user had more USB devices to plug in than are available on the computer.

Can you have a computer with 16 USB ports?

Yes, most motherboards these days have connections for at LEAST four USB 2.0 devices. In addition to this, USB is a scalable connection so using hubs it's possible to connect up to 255 devices to one USB port (realistically the performance will be terrible, so you should limit yourself to about 10 per port). So yes, you can easily have that many ports off one system. Companies make 4 port, 7 port and even as high as 40 port USB hubs.


Can you add more USB ports to a computer?

By using USB hubs. Typical hubs provide either 4 or 7 more ports on the bus they are connected to while consuming only 1 existing port. There is a limit of 127 devices on a single bus with USB. This limit includes all physical devices and hubs (note: 7 port hubs are usually implemented as 2 hardwired 4 port hubs, so they count double). If you actually need more buses not just ports, you will need to add an extra USB card and install its drivers. Even though most laptops provide more than one USB port, don't assume these are separate buses. The laptop usually contains at least one internal hub to support these ports and any internal USB devices that it contains.

Can you buy a device that plugs into standard usb port that will allow two items plugged in at once?

Yes. Many manufacturers make USB port replicators or 'hubs'. In general you will get a small box containing a USB hub with two or more USB sockets and a cable with a USB plug to go to your PC. Note that there are some restrictions with these devices - 1) not all devices will work through them. 2) There will be a very (very) small delay 3) Ensure you buy one of the same designation as the computer - if your computer has USB-2 sockets then ensure the replicator is also USB-2. 4) The maximum power that can be drawn from a USB-2 port on your computer is 500mA (700mA from USB-3 ports). Thus if you want to connect multiple devices the total current required by all of them must be less than this limit - or buy a replicator which has a separate power supply then the output from all those new ports can be 500mA each (700mA if it is USB-3). To keep the area round my PC clear of cables I use a 7-way powered external hub with everything plugged into that - this works fine. If you have a vast number of devices you can 'daisy-chain' multiple hubs if you really need to - put the slower devices which process least data further down the chain to get the best performance from faster devices - eg an external USB disk-drive should be as early as possible in the chain.
