Sabrent 4 Port Individual Switches HB UMLS

My Old Man Eric said WELL...........HOW SHOULD I PUT THIS?.

 So far so good. Works well, does not get hot at all (i read posts about them getting hot). All of the plug ins ports work. I have my interface, two hard drives and my iphone plugged in. I use them all day long have for the past couple of weeks since i got it and doing great. The buttons are smooth and easy to press. OOOOOOOONLY THING IS.........THE PORT IS A LITTLE TIGHT SO YOU HAVE TO PUSH your USB IN AND PULL OUT A little HARDER THAN NORMAL ......but not that much.. it's just noticable tighter.

if what I wrote was at all helpful please click so below so I know this helps others. Thanx

My friend Librarijen tell us Do not use as charger. Actually DECREASES Battery!!.

I was so excited to get this USB expander/splitter. My plan was to use this to charge multiple devices from one USB. I plugged in my phone and my tablet, and was very disappointed. The tablet shows that the charger is plugged in, but there is a red "X" over the battery icon, indicating that it is not actually charging. I tested that cord plugged directly into the original USB (the one that this new 4-port charger was plugged into) and it works fine. My phone gave me the message that it was "slow charging" and that I should check to see if it was plugged in properly. I checked to make sure all of the connections were good, and went off to take a shower. When I came back, my battery had DECREASED by 2%!! I then checked that cord the same as I did the other cord, and sure enough, it works just fine.
Thankfully, it was only $8, because I'd already thrown away the packaging, and I'm not sure it will be worth the time and effort of a return.
Unfortunately, this device will not work for me for the purpose I intended. :(

My Old Neighbor sojourner experience High Quality and low price.

I was amazed at the quality of this unit, (and I'm a gadget freak). It has solid USB connections. Nothing loose and cheesy about it. I attached it to the face of my tower PC with mounting tape. Looks and functions very solid. I'm an amateur photographer and am constantly disconnecting one-to use it for something else. Having this has saved me a great deal of frustration. I can even leave the cables plugged into the hub and just power off the L.E.D. power switches, so now I don't need to hunt for cables. I'm using it full time now for a month and have had no problems whatsoever. I'm VERY glad I got over some of the "if'y" reviews and bought this.

My Old Neighbor Teacupz Talk Was it cool?.

When I first got this little hub, I was impressed with it. It was just the right size, had 4 hubs and individual on/off switches. I use hubs a lot since I'm getting my book ready for my manuscript and my laptop only has 2 ports and I need 1 tor my fan, so I was tickled to get this hub
But the romance soon disappeared as the hub started getting hot and kept getting hotter, heating my USBs along. Now I'm finding corrupted documents I'm trying to complete each for my manuscript. the pulling a document of one
title and it opens to another document and I can't find the one I was looking for. One thing that got eaten/ misfiled or ... a document with the first four chapters of my book. I can't find them, but something mysterious happened to them. I believe the heat from the hub is slowly corrupting my documents. But the heat today was frightening as I had located 3 documents that appear lost. and I was afraid of an explosion.
So I'd suggest you check your documents and the heat generation B 4 you lose chapters.

My Fellow Anonymous experience Got the model with the power adapter capability (YES!) and its great. I love the ability to turn the ports off indivigually. 5/5.

A great little USB hub. I love the fact that it has buttons with blue light indicators to turn individual ports on and off. I was hoping to get the one with the power adapter hole and I did get that model! (Model HB-UMLS) BUT...The packaging and info included did not include any information of what kind of power adapter I'd need. The hole for it measures at 5mm but I'll have to look up what exact voltage and amperage I need.

In one of my pictures (attached) I show it powering a Razor Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 keyboard and a Logitech G35 surround headset (and a scanner and a second laser mouse - which don't use that much power anyway; mostly data).

Plugged my phone in with both of those going and it wouldn't even register as a data device. I disabled the other two ports with those devices in them and my phone came on as a data device and started charging. I guess it can only power one device that needs that much power. It can power more if I get the right adapter.

My Old Fellow Jonas Dohu tell us Works well, LEDs should be better isolated.

I bought this USB 2 hub instead of a USB 3 hub primarily to connect wireless dongles that can suffer from interference when connected to a USB 3 port. The buttons come in handy especially when trouble shooting compatibility issues, or when devices need to be turned off and on to get to work again, or just to turn off a device you don't need at the moment.

I have connected this hub to one of my mainboard's USB 2 ports via a 10' USB 3 extension cable. Everything I have connected so far works well:
- The Corsair Gaming K70 LUX RGB keyboard with any of its supported polling rates, including 1Hz
- The Logitech G900 gaming mouse (both the cable and the wireless receiver work, the latter also on the USB Pass-Through Port of the K70 mentioned above, connected to the hub)
- The Logitech MK270 wireless keyboard and mouse combo, without the connectivity issues I head when the receiver was plugged into the mainboard
- The HP PhotoSmart 7350 printer via an active 5m USB extension cable

I deducted one start because in dark light it can be hard to see whether a port is active or not because the LED lighting up the neighboring button bleeds through. Wish they were better isolated. Other than that, it works well, has a great price, and I didn't find an alternative with individual buttons: would buy again!

My friend Allison experience Doesn't work with accessories - why bother?.

My work computer has Windows 7, so when I started to run out of ports, I picked this one because it specifically stated it was compatible.

Got the package, plugged it in. Nothing worked, even items that were working fine when plugged directly into my computer. Saw no drivers were necessary (nice), so called support. They said this device doesn't work with accessories, like headphones, keyboards, and mice - only USB for data transfer.

Why you'd need to transfer data from 4 sources at once is beyond me, as is why they wouldn't support accessories. SMH. Returning.

My Fellow William Harris tell us I have absolutely no reservations in wholeheartedly recommending this product!.

I am a huge fan of the USB Hub. It works exactly as advertised, the price is exceptional, and the LSD function that tells you which ports are currently open is a God-send. I have had it for about one month, used it extensively, and been extremely impressed (especially at the low price -- the value you are getting is a significant one). Highly recommended, without any reservations!
Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches and LEDs (HB-UMLS)

My Old Chap KD Talk Nice little standard USB 2.0 4-Port Hub. Good match for Raspberry Pi Zero..

Having used larger US hubs with my Raspberry Pi’s in the past (such as ones from Rosewill), this is a small USB 2.0 hub in comparison. The size is roughly that of a pack of stick gum, which is a good match for the RPi0. Sabrent offers the same exact design hub in both USB 2.0 and 3.0 flavors. As I’m just intending to use this with a RPi0, USB 2.0 will suffice as RPi’s only have onboard USB 2.0 anyway. The switches seem to work well and are a nice feature, especially if the ports are going to be used as a power source. The unit does have a 5V DC power input, if you want to power it. The input accepts male 3.5x1.35mm barrel (positive center) connectors. If powered, each of the four ports can provide up to 1A of power, so a 4A power supply would be a good match. Sabrent offers one, model PS5V4A, however it would be easy to draw power from many other sources. Construction of the device is fair enough. It is built of a hard “rubberis” material. Overall, it is a decent little hub. It should be Plug n’ Play with Windows/MacOS/Linux/etc.

My Buddy Anaelle Seide experience Perfect For My PS4!!.

For my PS4 I use an 4TB eternal hard drive to increase my system storage. But because I have a PS4 Slim, I only have 2 USB ports available for use. This was a major issue for me when i upgraded to a wirless headset and the Astro PS4 gaming controller.

This multi USB port was a great tool for me to be able to use my extended hard drive, my wireless Astro PS4 gaming controller, and my Stealth 700 wireless headset all at the same time. I love the fact that this multi USB port has buttons that can switch the ports on and off so I don't have to constantly unplug when doing a maintenance check on my wireless devices. This makes the area for my PS4 much neater as well.

Great investment for a low price!!
