QuestionThis product comes with a power adapter. Are there any specs available about the size of the tip [the part of the wire which is plugged into the hub to power it] required if I want to replace the power adapter with another one with a longer cord.
Asked 1 year ago by shay118.
- Answer Based on pretty rough measurements and standards, it seems to use the Type E (3.4mm outer, 1.3mm inner) barrel connector. The power plug has an output of 5V 4A.

QuestionDoes this give a fast charge?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer USB 2.0 can deliver a maximum power of 2.5 W (5V @ 0.5A), and "fast charging" is usually 15 W or higher, so it won't give a fast charge.

QuestionHas anyone tried using it on a PS4 for extra port? Does it work? Help!
Asked 2 years ago by Keviichan.
- Answer It would, but with a quick google search, it says that only up to 5 devices can be charged (so therefore up to 5 devices can be utilized) on the PS4. So however many USB ports the PS4 has already, you can only get up to 5 at the most. Therefore, you should look at a smaller sized USB port hub unless you have any other reasons for potential usage. You should probably look into USB 3.0 port hubs as well depending on what your intended use is for.
