First Visual Observations:
Jet Black aluminum case with integrated Wall Mount flange. Looks well constructed with rubber feet. It is constructed with (12) USB 2.0 type-A Ports and (1) USB 2.0 type-B upstream connection closest to the status LED. The CE FC compliance logo is clearly located on the bottom of the USB 2.0 hub. The hub has a three wire terminal plug for additional power with the 7-24 volt AC power supply included.
Packaging:
The packaging for the hub itself surrounds the contents tightly where the hub is resting in a die cut cardboard cutout, the USB A to B cable along with the small package of mounting plates and screws are also contained in the main package.
Product Operation:
This product lived up to what I expected, it is a USB 2.0 12 port hub which has proved to support my USB 2.0 peripherals used with it including a PC Web Cam, (2) external hard drives, USB Mouse, and (3) USB flash drives, all used in Windows 8.1 operating system. Although I did not have to utilize all 12 USB ports my speeds were at approximately 300Mbits which is normal for high speed USB 2.0 signaling. I did not need to use the external power supply as the external USB hard drives used were Western Digital passport style; this would have been needed if I were using higher power consumption peripherals.
Pros for this product:
The hub looks much bigger than it actually is, it is very compact but well constructed so mounting it either on the wall or table top out of the way is great. Since the USB ports are located on the back wall of the hub, this allowed me to keep my connections much more organized. I didn’t lose information or speed of the devices while transferring any data.
TIP: Although the USB ports are grouped nicely for connections, keeping a cable tie handy so the cables don’t end up getting caught or disorganized in some way is helpful.
The 3 wire terminal connector is removable and only needs to be present with use of the external power supply.
Final Comments:
I work with several computer systems and computer peripherals every day, this hub was certainly a plus with the older USB 2.0 equipment we have in organizing our office layout. This is a good versatile hub to use with your USB peripheral management.
