Who can not have the patience or time or want to read the rather detailed review, the opportunity also has the same below, under "Final Conclusion", read on
Packing:
In an attractive box with window on the product, I took it out of the package Umverpackung.Auf English the most important information, such as application and specification were it already described. CE, FCC as labeling are printed (see: safety)
Content: 1 x 7-port USB 3.0 HUB, 1 x power supply, 1 x adhesive strip, 1 x Description, 1 x Warranty Card
Description:
A large area of an A4 page, is given on operation, Specification, additional functions information. This in a legible font, but unfortunately only in English.
Product:
First overall impression:
The 7-port USB hub (length: 15.5 cm / diameter without adjusting rail: 2,3cm Weight:. 86gr) makes with its frosted aluminum metal look surface that chromed at the ends by, brushed statements is decorated, a very high quality impression, and not just visually. The feel is very pleasant and classy. The build quality is 1A. No unsightly elevations, suggesting a non-rational deburring, no tolerance deviations, as well as all connections are stuck in small, round aluminum housing. The round case has, so that you stand a slightly rounded inward support rail at the bottom of this well, and if you want, you can fix it there with the double-sided adhesive tape. Without fixing the sliding stroke, due to the low weight but very quickly off the table, due to the own weight of the cable, especially when the cable connector should be located under the table.
The USB cable is installed securely into the hub, and has a length of 40cm. Here a separate USB port would have been more advantageous since 40cm for some terminal devices, but are pretty tight. The enclosed, and also reasonable processed Power Supply has a connection length of 150cm.
Application / service:
Although the 7-fold hub in its dimensions is very small, so it can but enough space between the terminals, the connector without undue fumbling out, and can be put into it. Be placed on a page 4, and on the other 3 terminals, plus the power supply access.
The HUB is indeed designed for USB 3.0, but is backwards compatible with 2.0 and 1.1, so that older devices can be supplied herewith, without of course to achieve the maximum data transfer rate of 5Gbps. This of course depends on the speed of the individual output devices. The Note on Plug and Play and hot swapping is taken seriously. Had under Windows XP and 8, as in my game consoles PS3, PS4 (Linux) and XBOX360, XBOX ONE (Windows) No installation problems.
Is the USB hub Once connected, the small power supply LED is green. Each 7 USB ports, however, do not have a LED display. It is interesting that you can both operate these passive HUB, without power supply connection to operate as small peripheral devices such as mouse, keyboard, or Webcam. For this, of course, an output device such as a PC or laptop is required.
However, addition can be the hub also with its own power supply connection standalone work for them alone. Then this is supplied with 3Ampere, which one then even without additional power supply peripherals, many devices with a higher Stronversorgungsrate, such as an external hard drive supply power or charge can, but of course Smartphons, pads, etc. In "energy guzzlers" such as an external hard drive, but I would make sure that all connections are not fully occupied, otherwise can occur quickly overloading the HUB`s.
Here then, a look at the specification of HUB`s sense, which enlightens one about the maximum output power of each port. With a power input of HUB`s of 3Ampere, you can even calculate how much power a still available if you connect an external hard drive with a recording capacity of 2Ampere. Here then accesses luckily for misconduct, the built-in surge protection, a, which prevents worse, such as an irreparable damage to the mainboard.
Security:
The power supply has the GS emblem, which stands for certified safety. A built-in surge protection, provides security against data loss, as well as in front of a short circuit.
The existing CE marking is not a seal of approval, similar to TÜV, but must then be carried out if all EU directives are fulfilled, to be used for the product. This ensures at least a minimum level of security because the wrongful affixing of the CE marking will be prosecuted.
The FCC label identifies electronic devices meeting the requirements of the US authorities Federal Communications Commission - meet and may be sold in the United States. In addition, the symbol ensures compatibility with standards, such as those of the International Organization for Standardization (short: ISO) will be awarded.
Final Verdict:
An extremely high-quality processed products, but which stands out not only for its build quality, but also with its refined look and feel.
In addition, uncommonly versatile in its applications, since this device can be both supplied passively via an external peripheral, but also stand-alone, only about their own power supply connection. Due to the extremely small size, as well as the low weight due to this 7-HUB is also wonderful as a mobile travel companion.
All for me important criteria, this product has passed with flying colors. The price is in terms of the overall package, more than adequate. From me, therefore, quite clear 5 star.
PS
Looking forward to your feedback, and each has the taken the time this review to hopefully with insights read.
