where is blue on hubs

No dropouts or other issues so far. If you have a good magnifying glass you should be able to see the little blue surface mount dots lurking deep inside that should be the power indicators. The hole is tiny so you have to be at the right angle. This shortcoming is pathetic and a pity, because the LEDs not only indicate that the port is activated, but also whether the device is active. The indicator lights up when the button is pressed, but turns off after a few seconds if the port is idle. This is indeed a very useful bonus feature. Too bad you need a radio telescope to see them. When the block is open it is clear that the block was designed for light guides, but they were absent. "Cost Reduction" or Bad "QC"?

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Other
