Summary: Small, efficient port layout, works well
Comment: I didn't have enough USB ports on my computer (does anyone?) and after looking at a bunch of hubs, picked this one, because Belkin products are, in my experience, of excellent quality and 4 ports weren't enough; I needed 7.

Like everyone else I find the cord length ridiculously short, and the hub is light enough that one needs to be careful that it doesn't skate off the desktop, but it functions perfectly, doesn't take up much space, and is attractive. If the cord were longer I would give it 5 stars rather than 4.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: This is a very good USB hub. Several USB devices can be plugged into the hub without plugging the USB hub into an outlet with the power cord (which I agree is a little short.)

These can most likely be plugged in without powering the hub: Wireless mice, wired mice, usb headsets. I have a Microsoft Wireless mouse and I can use it with the hub without plugging the hub in to an outlet.

iPods and external hard drives can be plugged in to the hub, but you have to plug the hub into an outlet.

I would say that any solid state hardware can be plugged into the hub without powering the hub. Solid state hardware is hardware without motors and moving parts. iPods and external hard drives have motors which move the drive head to read and write data so that's why you need to plug the hub into an outlet.

I also have a wireless number pad which works very well with this hub.


This is a very excellent product and I recommend it.

Summary: Very small, works great, PWR cable short
Comment: I bought this for my laptop that I will be traveling with. I love the size of it, perfect to fit into any nook the case has.
The power cable is WAY WAY WAY to short.

Summary: Whiny Adapter
Comment: When shopping for computer peripherals, I always look for a solid product that simply works while keeping a low profile. What drew me to this particular hub was the fact that it didn't have any lights to draw attention to itself. However upon first use, I was disappointed to discover that the power adapter emitted a shrill noise. Being something that would take up permanent residence in my bedroom, this was unacceptable. I didn't hesitate to return it.
