What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Hub is well finished with fixing screws in a nylon bag. Works great. Phenomenal buy. The lites are bright and i painted with red nail polish.
Usb 2. Hub is great for testing new electronic devices. Allows me to connect a laptop which allows me to use the extra keyboard and mouse from the laptop as well. It guarantees that everything gets enough power from my 12v battery.
Product is self-powered and 24vdc options. Works fine with or without the external power. The ability to run 12v is a real boon for my observatory. It is plugged into an active 15 foot usb extension cable going over to my pc.
Cons
The pins of the usb plugs bent when a plug was inserted. Even when the pins did not bend, the connection is loose. No workaround from tech support. For my application (telescope control), this is unacceptable.
Highlights
Quality
Great product, works flawlessly on my telescope/ccd/guide camera, focuser and mount.
Good internal build quality (i own an electrical engineering design firm).
We've got four of these, and my biggest complaint is with the bundled clips.
Price
The quality of this unit is much better than ordinary usb hubs and the price is very reasonable.
Shipping
It does not charge fast as an ipad charger for example.
Competitiveness
Even the high-end brands still call for a fuse upstream.
12v power input to power up an ssd and other devices to run into my headunit via usb.
Much cheaper than the din-mount competition: the hubs from industrial suppliers beckhoff, b&b, moxa, and icp das are between th... Read More
I eventually plan on buying a usb3 version one i get some gear that requires it.

The flaw is that the green leds are quite bright in the dark and i needed to place tape over them when operating the telescope

For most users this will not even be an issue

You have to use the single powered port for that

Note that if when you use your ipad while connected to the hub it will charge very slowly or just keep up battery level constant
