Review on πŸ‘½ Sudroid 3-Port USB 2.0 Rotatable Hub - Black [90Β°/180Β° Degree Rotatable] - Enhanced Connectivity and Flexibility" by Michael Vargas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Will not work with multiple serial devices with VCP drivers

Unfortunately this little hub just didn't work for my purposes, even though the form factor was ideal. I'm trying to use several devices (Insteon 2448A7, White and Aeon Labs DSA02203-ZWUS Z-Wave Z-Stick Series 2 USB Dongle Portable USB Adapter) that implement the serial protocol over Virtual Comm Port interfaces (one with FTDI and one with silicon labs). If I only have one of these devices connected, it works. However, when I plug both in, they don't work. There seems to be a sync issue when both devices are connected to a hub. Serial connections to these devices return garbage when both are connected. [EDIT] This could be a power supply issue as there are other reviews that suggest power is not properly routed through all devices.
