Belkin F5U403 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Lighted Hub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought this hub and there are definitely some improvements that can be made. For one thing, the USB cord is much too long - I just wanted to plug it right into my computer's USB port.A couple of inches would have been enough.Also, the ports are very close together which can be a problem when plugging in a flash drive. But one of the ports is on the end of the hub, so that is useful for things like that and leaves the other three ports for USB cords that can go side by side. There's no on/off switch for the light which might be annoying if you were working on a red eye or overnight flight with lights dimmed for the sleeping passengers.

The hub comes with a power adapter without any clear explanation of its purpose. I assumed it was just for the light because the hub normally works fine without being plugged into a power source. I later found out that it is there in case you start to draw serious power from the hub. Without the adapter, the hub is only providing 500mA for all four ports. This isn't a problem if you are using low powered devices. With the power adapter, the hub provides 500mA for each port.

AtivaTM In-Desk 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these hubs when I purchased my new desk at Office Depot. Unfortunately I paid the full price of $39.99 as Amazon didn't have any specials at the time. (at the time of writing this it's going for $24.95) This hub has worked beautifully for the past two years. Keep in mind that one of the USB ports is on the bottom and the other three are on top. I have my camera's USB cable connected to the one on the bottom and the cable from it coming up through the holes in the hub. Then when not in use I can slide the cable back down through the hole and it's not cluttering up my desk.

The one and only negative item I can say is very situation dependent. The blue LED is BRIGHT! This seems to be a common issue with this type of hub from various manufacturers. If this is going to be in a bedroom you'll probably want to cover it up with something. Unless, of course, you would like a rather bright blue nightlight. It will actually illuminate well enough to be able to navigate a cluttered office with easy. ;)

Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub F5U407 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Another great product from Belkin.I have used it when traveling with my laptop to hook up extra equipment.I have used it at home with my desktop for some added USB-2 level ports.It is great as it is very small and can fit in a shirt pocket, backpack, shoulder bag or purse.It provides you with 4 ports, high speed transfer rates and it is plug and play so NO SOFTWARE required which is always a good thing.If you need more ports for any USB device this would be a great one, if you require more ports you have several good choices right here on Amazon.
