- Black pedestal is very / too easily, the stroke often shifts to the desk (rubber feet are useless). Ideal for stationary applications advertised NOT
- Therefore also like to slip connector at the rear of the connectors
- Sockets overall very loose, plugged cables dissolve more or lose the operating contact (data loss / write error)
- The sockets distance far too low, several USB sticks side by side usually does not work, or similar standard plug from the mouse but without problems
Removable Hub:
- Very shaky when plugged in, though it snaps, but the fact that the outlet openings are guided upwards and then, of course, follow the cable of gravity, this part is bent and thus leads to loss of contact (no, I do not tear my cables)
- During operation of a USB 3.0 2.5 "HDD a brand manufacturer, there is a loss of contact / write errors - to the rear jacks But it is -> Kontruktionsfehler (another reviewer wrote, the Hub is indeed powered by the AC adapter, but not the mini-stroke that is HD's without its own supply and partly also other devices do not work on the upper connections.)
- Taken not usable without an additional cable (for example, on a laptop seems to have thought it), because the plug it can not rotate 360 ° freely. In addition, the stroke gets wider towards the bottom, hidden so to (m) a laptop so the sockets left and right, but mostly there are very close together.
I have disposed of these reasons, the mini-hub and and use the remaining 4 jacks that provided your service excellent.
+ Hub was recognized without problems under OS X.6
+ Looks good
+ Power cable Length very good, cable is a bit stiff
+ - Price borderline: The manufacturer Belkin stops here mM not what it promises.
+ - Plug power supply very weighty and high in the power strip at my workplace one of the highest
+ - Green LED that lights up continuously - including (. Ie does not write access or change color lights only)?
Supplement: I have lifted up my desk behind the laptop to the wall standing in operation. The USB cables are clamped between the table and the wall, the tensile forces on the rear bushings are thus rather low
Conclusion: Nice idea, but in the implementation flawed.
