Add 7 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports to your laptop for quick and easy access
The 7-Port Ultra-Slim Desktop Hub adds seven easy-access USB ports to your laptop/netbook/ultrabook - perfect for connecting a keyboard, mouse, thumb drive, charging cable, or any other USB-enabled device.
Q: Can this item be used as a charging station?
A: To add to the answer from Belkin: As long as you plug-in its power adapter, it can be used as a "charging station"!
A: Yes the Belkin 7 port USB 2.0 has all ports flexible for USB data or charging or both. My only disappointment is that there are no LEDs on the device. My prior Belkin 4 port had LEDs and was great for quite a few years, but suddenly was crapping out - intermittently it would not connect my keyboard USB, etc. It is now in the pile of electronics to recycle. FYI - when I got the new USB 2.0 I realized I did not know much about 2.0 vs. 3.0. Turns out my Lenovo laptop has a "blue tongue" 3.0 port. So I went back and bought the Insignia 4 port USB 3.0 hub - works great. I put my new WD Passport on there for fastest speed, and daisy chained the 7 port USB 2.0 into it. Also connected a USB to 1 GB Ethernet adapter. All working, tons of reliable USB ports now!
Q: Charging with AC Adapter is not working
A: Hi, Steve. This unit will only function if connected to a computer. The adapter is intended to support the power consumption if you are using multiple hard drives at the same time.
Q: Where does the cable connect to the hub? It does not show in the photo.
A: In the end. Cable included. Great product.
A: I can not say about the laptops with Windows 8 but I have no issues with it working with my MacBook Pro laptop (2017), Mac desktop (2016) or my Dell laptop that is literally (2002) model.
Q: How long is the cable from computer's USB connection to the port body if any?
A: It has a 5 ft cable to usb port. 2 ft power cable. But it works with out the power cable.
Q: Is this compatible with a Mac Book Pro?
A: Yes.
