“When connected to a cell phone, will this allow switching between tethering phone to PC and charging the phone? In other words, is switch capable of bidirectional use (charging INTO phone, tethering OUT FROM phone)? Thank you for any help.”

Thank you for you inquiry! The Best Buy essentials™ 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub is designed primarily to expand the number of USB ports available on your computer. It supports data transfer and charging for connected devices. However, it does not have the capability to switch between tethering your phone to a PC and charging the phone simultaneously in a bidirectional manner. For tethering (using your phone as a modem) and charging at the same time, you would typically need a USB hub with specific features that support this functionality, such as a powered USB hub with data transfer capabilities. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support
