Review: Best USB Hub I have ever used. - Was recommended this by astrophotographers that operate gear outdoors and off of 12V batteries, and this is what I use it for. The voltage range the device accepts is fantastic. The screw-down cable connector is easy to use and very secure. The USB ports connect and hold well even with cables that move around. No intermittent connections. Indicators easily tell when cables are connected. The flaw is that the green LEDs are quite bright in the dark, and I needed to place tape over them when operating the telescope. For most users this will not even be an issue. I eventually plan on buying a USB3 version one I get some gear that requires it.
Review: ... a year for a demanding application that involves a good deal of exposure to temperatures between -20 and +100 ... - I have used this hub for more than a year for a demanding application that involves a good deal of exposure to temperatures between -20 and +100 F. Over this time period, performance has been flawless. The hub is easy to mount because of the pre-drilled mounting holes. The wide range of usable DC input voltages is a nice feature, and the ability to run the hub from the same 12 volt power source that I use for my other equipment has been very helpful. In my case I used a pair of male pin connectors to make the power connections to the female pin connectors, which are secured by small set screws. The quality of this unit is much better than ordinary USB hubs and the price is very reasonable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this provide at least 2A per port (and thus can be used as a charger for iPads and the like)?**
A: From what I read in "Pocket PCRef" (ISBN 978-1-885071-40-8 pg 535)  a powered hub provides 100 mA at power up, and up to 500 mA at normal operation. From this I'd assume the 500 mA (0.5 Amp) requirement is per port. I can't imagine a port delivering 2 full amps. I use it as a charger for everything with a USB connection. In my experience, it works well. Hope this helps.

**Q: What type of power adapter works with this? Will a ciagarette plug type adapter work to hook up to a 12 volt battery?**
A: It takes 12V DC. I use a 12V 15A power supply for the one I have. I'd want something around 1.5A at least.

**Q: I currently have the 4 port but need more connections. could the 7 port be connected to the 4 for 11 ports?**
A: Yes. You would need to use one of the 4 to hook up the 7port hub. So total you would have 10 (3+7) ports available.Keep in mind that this hub requires an external power source. You would need a DC Power supply to hook it up to the green plug you see in the picture along with the proper amperage output, depending on what you want to use the usb ports for.

**Q: Can I use a dc jack to power the usb hub without the main usb cable connected to a laptop?**
A: Yes you can.  I have mine plugged in to the DC power brick and use it to charge my portable electronics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best USB Hub I have ever used.

*by A***S on April 24, 2015*

I have used this hub for more than a year for a demanding application that involves a good deal of exposure to temperatures between -20 and +100 F. Over this time period, performance has been flawless. The hub is easy to mount because of the pre-drilled mounting holes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ USB sockets too close to one another
*by P***R on August 19, 2023*

Update: removed one star. The USB sockets are too close together, only the very slimmest devices can be inserted next to each other without interfering, which is to say causing them to wedge out of alignment in their socket which can cause connection problems. Orig: five stars This device is rugged, metal and has solid mounting ears. All the connectors are first rate and I expect many years of reliable service from it. It’s a little pricy but worth it for what you get imo. I strap a pi0 to it with zip ties and screw this in place. It’s powered from my offgrid cabin 12v DC supply. The pi powers and uploads to an arduino and reads an incoming serial line logging the data and this hub lets me use usb for all connections - no more having to use the pi0 onboard uart (which caused the loss of a pi0 during an electrical storm —- when pi0’s die this way they short, that device was pulling 1.2A @ 5v and it was *very* hot). I have not verified that a usb sdcard reader works with this hub and that is necessary for me to do backups of the live boot drive with all the arduino sources and logger data so I will find out and add that here.
