Description of 💡 Plugable USB 2.0 4-Port High Speed Hub: Boost Connectivity with 12.5W Power Adapter

USB 2.0 4-Port High Speed Hub. Includes a robust 12.5W 5V 2.5A power adapter. (US AC Wall Outlet Plug, 100-240V 50/60Hz). Hub enables connecting 4 additional USB devices. Forwards and backwards compatible with all USB 3.0, 2.0, or 1.1 host controllers and devices on Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix computers at USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps. Transfer rates are device and USB host controller dependent. Fully plug and play, devices can be hot-swapped, supports USB over-current protection. Requires no driver installation (although individual devices may require drivers). Apple notes: Note that some devices such as the Apple SuperDrive look for Apple-specific signaling and will not work when connected through any USB hub. Hub supports the USB Battery Charging 1.1 Standard (BC 1.1) for unique charge and data sync functionality that most hubs do not have. Charge and sync only works with BC 1.1 compatible devices such as the Apple iPhone 5s, 5c, 5, iPad Retina, Air, Mini, (Apple 30 pin dock connector iPads will not charge), plus various Android and Windows devices are also supported. Because only some devices support BC 1.1, check compatibility list below before purchase. Master blue power LED. Sleek piano black glossy finish. Compact and portable design.

Great for use with the Raspberry Pi B model

I bought this to use with my Raspberry Pi B model. I wish I had more powered USB ports and could use the power the device from the same hub. I am very happy to report that I got exactly what I wanted from this device. This simplifies the cables I already routed for my Raspberry Pi which I use on my home theater PC which has RaspBMC installed. BENEFITS: - Provides stable power supply that is not connected to any other computing device. It was exactly what I needed for my RaspPi setup. The very…

Received because I liked their USB 3

Just received. I bought it because I really liked their USB 3.0 network adapter. It turns out that the Plugable people used to work for Microsoft on their Windows USB stack, which means that Plugable USB products are designed by people who really know what they're doing. In any case, I went with a USB 2.0 hub over a 3.0 hub because USB 3.0 hubs (any from any manufacturer) emit a lot of RF noise that interferes with wireless mice, headsets, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. For starters, I have a 3.0 hub…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Too long to wait

three Apple devices connected!

After Apple released the new iPhone 5, I noticed that it uses more power. I also heard that even Apple is struggling with their chargers for the new iPads and iPhones. I did a lot of research and found that if you have new generation Apple devices, you might want to think twice before buying a USB hub. Few of them indicate whether or not they can charge these new devices. After replacing one of the phones with the new iphone5, we found that our old USB hub wasn't good enough for charging. If…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Almost never

The only USB hub on the planet that works with an iPad mini

I buy a lot of Revain products, but many of them are self-evident and I often don't take the time to write reviews. This product is one of the exceptions. I'm very computer savvy and have searched everywhere for a powered USB hub that will support both my iPhone 5 and iPad mini and allow me to 'charge' and 'sync' both devices at the same time when they plug into mine computers are connected. I've bought some of the best USB hubs (Belkin etc) and they just don't have enough power to charge the…

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Small but powerful

For several months (about 18) I have been looking and researching for a hub that is reasonably priced and works for the purpose I need. I have 3 portable external hard drives and each one contains files that I need to access and there aren't many USB ports on my laptop. In fact, with anything practically requiring USB access, you'd think computers would create more USB ports, and a motherboard capable of processing said it would create more ports. My research led me to this tiny but powerful…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
