SABRENT 4 Port USB 2.0 Data Hub with Individual LED lit Power Switches [Charging NOT Supported] for Mac & PC (HB-UMLS)

I needed to add a couple of extra USB 2.0 ports to a small desktop and thought I would give this product a try. Here is what I liked: 1. Inexpensive. 2. Four ports (three more than you started with since you use one port to plug this into) that can each be turned off by pressing the button above the port. When the port is enabled (powered) there is a blue LED that lights. You can turn each port on or off independently of the other ports. 3. Small, this is a very compact design. What I did not like as much: 1. This is not a robust hub! The construction is such that with care it should perform well. It will NOT stand up to an abusive environment! 2. VERY short connector cord (4 inches). 3. No mounting provisions. I wound up using double stick tape to attach this device to the back of my computer. This keeps it out of harms way. I also put stress relief on all cables attaching to this so that they would not put undue stress on the hub. Using it in this way, the device performs exactly what I was looking for. I use this to connect the keyboard, mouse, and printer. None of those devices has a large current draw. This is important because this device does NOT have a separate power supply and you are therefore depending upon the original port you connected to for all power to all devices on this hub. Considering the price and as long as you remember the limitations that I mentioned, this hub performs well for the price you are paying for it.

Works great to recharge multiple items

Ive been using my hub for a few months now. Pros: It works as intended! My work laptop only has 2 USB plugs, so I needed something. I like that each port togglable, so I dont have to worry about (un)plugging things constantly. Cons: I wish the plugs were spaced slightly further apart from each other, as I have a few USB devices (ex: thumb drive) that are wider. Its not too much of an issue since I often find myself only using 2-3 of the ports at a time. Also, the cord length is awkward at times but good at others. Sometimes I wish it was shorter so it would sit closer to my laptop and not take up more desk space than needed; sometimes I wish it was longer to allow for more flexibility. So, its probably a good length for me. (I think its about 6-8 inches in length, though I dont have it in front of me atm.) Overall, if youre looking for a hub to extend your USB port availability, I give it my approval.

I only have three things plugged into this hub at all times because anymore than that and at least one port on the hub will stop working. Every now and then I have to turn off a port and turn it back on when I start my computer because the port wont work. It works fine if you only have a couple things you need to plug in, but if youre planning on filling this bad boy up (dont take that out of context), then Id suggest looking somewhere else.

Have had this item for sometime now. In fact I have three of them, one to a chromebook and the others to desktop computers. Great item. No problems at all. Blue LED light lets you know if the USB port is active. You can turn the port on and off by the press of a button. So far very reliable. I have the 2.0 but they make the faster 3.0 also. Good product for the $$.

I really like this data hub and it works for my personal needs, im very satisfied. I have a sound bar, mouse and external drive plugged in and it works awesome.. Bonus, you can tell whats on by the blue lights & you can turn off what you dont need by pressing that button.. Anyways, no complaints for this product or the pricing.. Thanks

My employer recently swapped out my Windows 7-based VPN laptop, which was an HP ProBook with a newer HP EliteBook with iGel on it. The ProBook had four total USB ports, two on each side. I used three of them: one for a Yubi key, and two on the right side for a KVM hookup for mouse and keyboard. The EliteBook only has TWO USB ports, one on each side + a USB-C which is useless to me. I had no good way to use my KVM cables anymore, so I tried this hub from Sabrent. WORKS GREAT! I have a two-port KVM hooked to it, which runs my Microsoft Ergonomic Natural 4000 keyboard as well as a Logitech G502 mouse. It is a bit more desktop clutter now, but I can deal with that in favor of being able to use my original peripherals for long VPN sessions for work. The hub DOES NOT get warm, and thats after two hours of use. The light glow for each port is very unobtrusive and doesnt bother me. Only thing which I do a bit different is I often times will put the laptop into Sleep mode (it has a write-protected drive for security purposes) so my wifi and display settings dont get erased. The USB hub stays powered, so to prevent it from draining the laptop battery in sleep mode I just press the two buttons to turn off those ports and Ive had no issues so far with coming back to a dead battery.

I wish I had a longer cable, but besides that its alright. My laptop only has 3 USB ports and I use all of them plus at least 2-3 of the ports from this without fail.

I liked it a lot its a really good add on to my set up but the cord attached to it is pretty small and you cant pot it very far away, some of ym cords didnt reach it but i found a good work around

Bought two because of how many usb devices I have, wish the cord was longer. They work great might be better off getting a bigger hub if you have 10+ usb devices ti plug into
