This review is from: Belkin Clip-On Hub (F5U416)Great little clip-on USB hub for 4 USB outgoing connections (1 input USB connection) with USB powered capability (you can use power adapter too if you have greater than 500mA load from attached USB devices.) This is a very thought through design and works great almost any place from edge of table to round beams to cable jungle (you can put the clip around band of cables.) The clip hold wires and keep things looking neat. The device has very convenient front/top 2 USB connections for quick USB drives/etc. insertion and removal. If you are looking for 4 port USB hub then it's hard to find a better built better designed hub of unsurpassed usefulness. I did have to use supplied power adapter to power the Belkin hub in order for it to power my portable Hitachi 7,200rpm 2.5'' drive--it would not be detected by computer otherwise....

This review is from: Belkin Clip-On Hub (F5U416)FYI, the package includes: Clip-On Hub, Power adapter, USB cable.

(I was trying to find that information before I bought it, and couldn't see anywhere to say if there was a cable or not.)



Also the package says "Works on tables or desks with a thickness not exceeding 1.25 inches." Note, the opening does not expand as wide as the diameter of the circle, which is probably 1.5-2 inches across. I assume that's to leave room for cables to go through.



I haven't actually used the ports a lot yet, but have had no trouble when I did, and the design with the clip-on and the top ports is perfect for what I needed. I am very satisfied....

This review is from: Belkin Clip-On Hub (F5U416)The hub is tiny and secures rather firmly to the edge of my desk. Does exactly what I need it to do. I'll probably be buying another one soon. I've tried lots of different brands and have come to believe that Belkin makes some of the best and most reliable connectivity gear out there....
