Title: Wanted: Quality Usb Hub
Post by: tomisako on August 29, 2005, 09:09:25 am
Searching for a quality usb hub brand/model.

Active would be good: loading Z's akku from USB-to-AC without a PC.

And that kind of hub
which not necessarily need extra power(adapter) in PC use.

Someone found a good and tested one?

Found one:
Edimax EU-HB4S (http://www.edimax.com.tw/html/english/products/EU-HB4S.htm)

"Key Features
...
Select between self-powered mode and bus-powered mode automatically."
Good one?

***
After searching transformer hubs I noticed most of them delivers 1A power/port when connected PC and transformer simultaneously.
So BEWARE with these!
Maybe only use with PC only (without extra transformer power)
or without PC (when power/port should also be 500mA).
I ordered Trust 2.0 PASSIVE model. (also active available which delivers 1A)
