Kensington PocketHUB USB 2.0 - hub - 7 ports

Belkin Powered Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-port Hub

Advantages: Fast USB 2 Hub, Ports well spaced out
Disadvantages: Only for Desktop PC's really, Must have adequate PSU

It should first be stated that this product is intended for use with a desktop computer and indeed it would only be practical to use it in such a manner. The hub comes with an AC adapter which has a good length cable to reach the mains socket. A USB cable is also included to connect the hub to your computer. The hubs cannot function without the AC power. There is nothing more frustrating than ports or sockets being too close together, meaning that large or bulky adapters or plugs can't fit in next to each other. This 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 ...

Review of Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub - hub - 7 ports

Port Ahoy! Cracking Belkin USB Hub

Advantages: great design, vertical ports for regular items such as memory sticks, led display
Disadvantages: maybe a bit expensive but comparrison but it is quality

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 ...

Review of Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub - hub - 7 ports

Wonderful portable USB 2.0 hub

Advantages: Ultra-compact, sleek form factor, powered
Disadvantages: Can' think of any

This is one incredibly small USB 2.0 hubs. It's about as big as a credit card (albeit a bit thicker), and it's very convenient to carry around - perfect for laptop users. What I like the most about this hub is that the cord actually retracts into the hub itself when not in use. The downside to this is that the cord is extremely short - about a cm or two long. However, this didn't really pose a problem to me. If you need to place the hub further away from the computer, a USB extension cable is provided. This is a powered hub, that means you could plug in the provided AC adaptor if your USB devices need more power. I've used a variety of products with the hub (pen drive, USB hard drive, wireless keyboard, webacm), and everything worked like a charm. If you are using a desktop, it might be better to get a USB hub that comes ...
