Works as it should and as good a passive USB hub can hold.

Due to unfavorable and partial to long cable lengths I was looking for a USB 2.0 hub to my input devices no longer need to connect directly to the PC. After negative experiences with low-cost active stroke, it should be this time a passive.

DHL brought the Hub by letter, the product packaging is not much larger than the device itself, but perfectly adequate. Good for the environment and less waste.

When connecting to the PC it is noticeable that the supplied cable is ziemlcih shortly. But the hub is indeed declared as mobile device and originally designed for notebooks, where the short cable may indeed make sense. Fortunately, it is exactly the same cable, which included mobile phones and smartphones today as charging and data cable and I had a one-meter copy of it on that now serves as a connection cable between hub and PC.

The device itself acts on the material ago with value and free of any gimmick as LEDs or switch. Since the plugs are inserted horizontally on all 3 sides of the hub is located on flat and stable. All plugs are firmly seated in their sockets, nothing wobbles.

The sockets are close together, so you next to a stick, at best, get a small USB connector. Either one uses the socket on the end of sticks or leaves the socket (s) next to the eingsteckten Stick equal empty.

I run the hub to a USB 3.0 port for better power supply. Fully stocked, I had the problem that a eingsteckter on the rear jack DVB-T Stick does not work, in the first socket of the socket number at the other end of the unit but already. The radio receiver for my Xbox controller did not want to work with. A USB 2.0 flash drive has been recognized and operated in the usual USB 2.0 speed.

After initial skepticism, the stroke use vollbesitzt now and all is working properly.

The following devices are connected:
- Logitech Mouse
- Logitech Flight Stick
- Thrustmaster Stick
- Thrustmaster Throttle
- CH pedals
- Smart card reader
- Webcam

Conclusion: Not all USB devices are to be suitably operated at a stroke and not all USB devices are to be suitably operated at a passive hub. This hub is not for hard drives or scanners without an independent power supply. Leaving aside the not one, this hub exactly what he should. Although declared as mobile, it gets down to a slightly longer cable on the desk the. The processing is perfectly legal. I am satisfied and would order the stroke again, if more input devices would be connected.

+ Connection cable is a standard mobile phone / smartphone USB cable
+ Umweltfreunliche packaging
+ Tight fit of the plug

- Only for USB devices with low power consumption (especially with full configuration)
- Short cable

Addendum (03/25/2015): The Mouse now hangs again for some time directly on the PC, for the DVB-T Stick is running without problems in the rear socket of the stroke. Absolutely zufriedem with the part.
