The stroke looks appealing, is non-slip rubber feet to 4, measures 17,4x7,6x2,3 cm and weighs 156 g. It requires Vista really no drivers and operation absolutely the AC adapter. USB 1.1, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices are detected and can be operated without any problems. If the device is connected to the PC, a blue signal LED above the hub input.
The power supply provides 2.5 A at 12 V, which makes 30W. So be on the USB side 20W available. So you should think carefully if you want to use the hub as a charger. I have a 7-port charger with 60W - and that's not spacious enough! For use as a hub of the AC adapter, however, is sufficient.
Both the USB cable with 1m and the 12V cable is a bit short with 1,2m. On my desktop the movement space is very limited.
Conclusion:
This is a complicated hub with many ports 5 Stars! If you "not helpful" find this review, please post a comment. This helps other buyers much more than meaningless "unchecking"!
