Apex is a custom usb hub PCB built around the Seeed FE1.1S, packing 1 upstream usb-c port, 2 downstream usb-a port.

Built because most usb hub don't let you own what's inside. Apex is designed from scratch to let you truly own your hub

To build your own, grab the KiCad files, review the schematic below, and send the design to your preferred PCBA fab and you are good to go!

Every usb hub on the market is a black box. Apex exists to change that.

Key Features

  • FE1.1s USB 2.0 hub controller for reliable multi-device connectivity
  • 1× USB-C upstream port for host connection
  • 2× USB-A downstream ports for peripherals
  • Integrated power handling with support for stable USB distribution
