“Clarification On Piggybacking Hubs Would power consumption still be an issue if both hubs are using the AC adapter?”

• It should not be an issue if the hubs are connected the additional power provided by the ac adapter. The power would no longer be drawn from the USB connection and it would only be used for data transfer.

• No your device should have a spec sheet to tell you how many amps EACH port is putting out. Usually 5v or 900ma.

• It depends on the peripherals attached however it is recommended that you use both power adapters.

• Hahaha. I feel like this might be a crazy idea...you will have to plug both hubs in.

• It's not the hubs we're worried about. If you are using several high draw devices, there is a chance that it won't be able to power everything. Given how many devices you are connecting, it is a slight concern. If both hubs are plugged in, then it should be more than enough power.
