1 + 1 = 1
USB hubs have always come with a separate cable to plug into ones computer and provide more ports for other gadgets such as; digital cameras, printers, scanners, MP3 players,external hard drives, etc. The cable is usually black, round and at least several feet in length. The major pain point with this kind of product experience is that losing the cable is a potential future scenario and without it the hub is useless.
