It cost me £12 when I bought it but I think that was the stores mistake as I have seen it advertised at between £19 and £24. Even at that price though this is a good piece of kit.

I bought this hub as an impulse purchase but based my decision on: (a) you can never have enough usb ports (b) belkin are a respected manufacturer (c) I liked the design
It cost me £12 when I bought it but I think that was the stores mistake as I have seen it advertised at between £19 and £24. Even at that price though this is a good piece of kit.
Bearing in mind you can get USB 2 hubs for about half the piece of this one made by companies you may have never heard of, the design and features on this device make it a very attractive and useful addition to your desktop.
It has seven USB ports; five on the back and two placed nattily and very usefully on the top. The top ones are what make this great in my view. They are ideal for things you want to plug in and take out on a regular and irregular basis. I use them for usb memory sticks, camera connection, or anything which you don't want to have to delve behind to place in there. I know it might sound a little petty but slotting the memory stick or MP3 payer into these vertical slots is ideal. In the past I have snapped various USB stick devices (such as a couple of Bluetooth adapters and memory sticks) while trying to either take them out or put them in a horizontal device.
The Belkin hub has indicator lights on the front showing the status of each of the devices attached in green and a red one showing the power. The hub itself is externally powered and both this and the PC connection are positioned at either end of the rear of the device. Between these two inputs are the five USB outputs.
The device sits nicely on the desk and having a black and silver finish, fits in nicely with most computer colour schemes currently used. One little feature I love about this unit (although haven't used it yet) is that it is stackable. You can place two of these on top of each other and still use all the ports.
It has a throughput of 480 Mbps which is pretty much standard. It is compatible with USB 1.1 as well as USB 2. It's totally plug and play and is recognised with no problems in both XP and Vista (32 and 64 bit).
In use I have not had the slightest problem with this hub. It feels well made and hasn't faltered in use for the 6 months or so I've had it.
So, in short, it looks good, it feels good and by golly it does you good! A great product which will enhance any desktop.

Review of Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub - hub - 7 ports
Advantages: Plenty of ports, stackable, simple display Disadvantages: Yet another power lead, relativley short cable.
Im not an expert on USB hubs, so il just try to give a a good review based on my experiences of the product. I hope its helpful.
Well, what can i say appart from "its a usb hub"!. It sits under my monitor and does everything i want it to to. The hub is plug and play, so no installation needed. It does need its own power outlet, and the adaptor is fairly large. It has a pleasant appearance, and the display consists of a red LED indicating power, ... ...are 5 USB 2.0 sockets on the back and 2 on the top. I've found that the rear sockets are best for permanent connections (keyboards, mice etc) and the top 2 are useful for small devices such as Digital cameras and especially USB flash drives. When a lot of devices are connected the hub does tend to move around (through tension from the cables) so i have it blu-tacked to the desk! Occasionally my mouse is not detected upon startup, so have to unplug ...

Advantages: Fast USB 2 Hub, Ports well spaced out Disadvantages: Only for Desktop PC's really, Must have adequate PSU
...problem is avoided by the Belkin 7-port hub as the ports are well spaced out with four on one side and three on the other. There is an indicator light for each port to indicate whether it is working or not (on or off). There is no switch to turn off the hub - this would have to be done by disconnecting it from the computer or switching off the mains.
Before purchasing such a hub you should check to see if you computer is going to be powerful enough ... ...full hub with all devices functioning simultaneously will put a serious load on your PSU. Only consider buying this if your PSU is rated at 350W or above and you have no current usb devices connected to ithe computer.
The main feature that attracts people to this hub is that it is stackable. In the even you need more usb ports, just buy another hub, connect it to the one you already have and stack the new one on top. The first (base) hub is capable ...

Belkin is well known for providing great electronic components for many appliances. Their high standards are foreseen by offering huge amounts of replacement covers showing their reliability, but most of all assurance. The 7-Port hub was bought at a mere £25. I desperately needed the product as I only had two USB sockets in the tower whilst having four components that required a USB connection. I love its sleek design making it a nice attraction ... ...it is unbelievable of how it can operate so many transfers in such a small box. The lengths of the wire are long enough to reach the PC tower but I have to admit that the AC adopter wire is exceedingly longer than many other PC components. It comes with a 5 year guarantee just to assure that you are in safe hands in case of any malfunctions. I could not favour an internal hub because I find it was a bit risky, especially for a beginner who knows ...
