0 I-hub yamandla ephathwayo enikwe amandla elanga yigajethi eguquguqukayo, ehambelana nokusingqongileyo eyenzelwe ukuba ibambe amandla elanga kwaye iguqulwe ibe ngumbane osebenzayo kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokusetyenziswa. Ezi yunithi zilungelelanisiweyo zibandakanya iiphaneli zelanga, indawo yokugcina amandla (efana nebhetri), kunye namazibuko aphumayo abonelela ngeemfuno ezahlukeneyo zokutshaja izixhobo.
Indima yabo ephambili ikukuqokelela ukukhanya kwelanga ngeepaneli zelanga, bayiguqule ibe ngamandla ombane, kwaye bayigcine ngaphakathi kwebhetri yangaphakathi. La mandla agciniweyo asebenza njengomthombo wokutshaja izixhobo ze-elektroniki ezifana nee-smartphones, iilaptops, iikhamera, kwaye zinokunika amandla izixhobo ezincinci ezifana nezibane okanye iifeni.
Ezi hubs ziyilelwe ngobunono ukuphatheka okuphezulu, zizenza zilungele izinto zangaphandle, uhambo lokuhlala enkampini, iimeko zikaxakeka, okanye iimeko apho ukufikelela kwimithombo yamandla eqhelekileyo kunqabile. Babonelela ngendlela ezinzileyo, ehlaziyiweyo yamandla, ukunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kwiigridi zamandla emveli kunye nokunciphisa impembelelo yokusingqongileyo.
Ezinye ii-hubs zamandla aphathwayo elanga zibonelela ngeempawu ezongeziweyo njengeenketho zokutshaja ezininzi (AC, DC, USB), izikhombisi ze-LED ezibonisa imeko yebhetri, kunye nokukwazi ukuhlawuliswa ngeevenkile eziqhelekileyo, ukuphucula lula komsebenzisi.
