Review on Grommet ,Suitable Transmission Between Included by Alejandro Raney

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Nice and useful, with a few flaws

The features of this device are definitely convincing: not only does it have 3 different USB ports, but it also has a built-in dual card reader (only one card). at least once). The device acts as a USB hub, so you connect the built-in USB cable (which comes out from the bottom) to the PC, turning 1 port on the PC into 3 ports on the table. Another great feature is that there is a cut out so you can run multiple cables through the grommet hole (most of these items cover the hole completely. This can also be used to run a USB cable to the top of the table) . if you have a computer on the table and not under it. There are 3 disadvantages: 1.) USB cable is not as long as it should be in my opinion. The eyelet holes are usually in the corners of the table, so if your computer is on the other side of the table, the built-in cable won't be long enough. For the price, I would expect a 6ft to 8ft USB cable. 2.) This is for a 60mm cutout, but most tables in the US have 2.5" holes so they sit loose in the hole and make it difficult to disconnect cables without pulling out the entire unit. If you can cut a new hole in your table and find a suitable hole saw, this may not be a problem, but most people will replace the existing socket. The workaround I used was pretty simple: instead of removing the old bushing entirely, I just removed the inner cover, I left the flanged "ring" in place. This reduced the effective hole diameter so I could press in this new socket, otherwise the USB plug just slides back into the housing. currently installed, this side of the disc is facing backwards, but it should be facing forward. So, in conclusion, you may need to do some rearranging/creative to get this set, but once it's in place, it definitely is practical (except for aligning the USB ports).

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky
