  • Quick Setup Guide

Q: What operating systems is this hub compatible with?

A: This hub is compatible with Windows 10, macOS 10.12, and Chrome OS 81.

Q: Does this hub require any additional drivers to function?

A: No, this hub utilizes plug-and-play technology, eliminating the need for additional drivers.

Q: How many devices can be charged simultaneously with this hub?

A: This hub allows you to charge up to 4 devices simultaneously.

Q: What is the data transfer speed of this USB hub?

A: This Insignia USB hub supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps.

Q: Is this USB hub backwards compatible with older USB devices?

A: Yes, this hub is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices.

Q: Hello. Can this be used a USB Charging Station? I have multiple electronics that need to be charged through USB Plugs.

A: The "Features" list for this item says it can provide up to 900ma per port at the standard USB 5 volts. In terms of using it as a charging station, it also says "offers consistent power OR CHARGE for your connected USB devices". So theoretically as long as you only use it to charge devices that can auto-charge while drawing no more than 900ma (0.9 amps) or less of 5 volt USB power per port, you would be within that that spec. That equates to around 4.5 Watts. But as with many tech questions, the answer is "it depends". Most reasonably modern phones, for example, want more current than that; particularly when fast charging which requires FAR more current. My years' old Galaxy S20+ specs say it can draw 15 watts when fast charging at standard USB 5V. More modern devices may use USB-C chargers that can also auto-change the charging voltage to provide up to 20V per port to achieve those far higher / faster charge rates. Even for user devices that also automatically provide a 5V "fallback" mode to charge slowly when they detect 5V and limited available wattage, I'd want a purpose-built phone / tablet charging station that can provide that type of amperage. I bought this hub purely to connect multiple small, low-current USB devices for usage only to a laptop such as an wired ethernet to USB connector, an SDCard reader, a USB hard drive holding an SSD, etc.

Q: What type of connection cable does this have?

A: USB five foot cord and power adapter.

Q: Will the Hub work as a stand alone usb adapter without the power cord?

A: No, you have to connect the Hub with the power cord in order to use it. Insignia Support Mary www.insigniaproducts.com/support

    Perfect powered hub

    Excellent product and exactly what I needed. My gaming laptop only has two USB ports and I have four to plug in. This hub made it easy to connect more with no noticed speed decrease yet. It powers my RGB keyboard without being plugged into the DC cord, only my laptop. All four ports are powered and work perfectly. It's also slim, not ugly, and hasn't heated up at all. Good choice if you need a hub, especially a powered one for a great price.

    A winner.

    Great powered Hub that works nicely on older computers. I have 3 older iMacs and I use two of them a lot. I bought a powered hub at W-M, and it is junk compared to this one. Insignia wins hands down over the cheaper Wallie World version. I am probably going to buy a second one at some point in time.

    Useful and Inexpensive

    I run a digital audio workstation on one of my systems. Ableton software is resource heavy, and I run a variety of external gear (audio interface, Ableton controller, Akai drum machine, external SSD) through my usb ports. Each device is class compliant usb bus powered, but running all at once was affecting performance overall. When I plugged this in to my left-side usb port, I immediately added additional ports. Since the dock is powered, it eliminated the power draw on my front side ports eliminating my performance issues. Usually, the tradeoff for adding a port adaptor is more latency, which is the opposite of what one wants when running audio gear. This one gives me realtime responsiveness, and I paid practically nothing out of pocket via Best Buys deals and the member award I cashed in. Definitely a smart purchase as similar devices can cost four or five times as much and provide similar or worse performance.
