If I connect this unit to a power usb, the power will be distributed the power for both ports?

I have this connected to my MAC desktop monitor, and then have 2 devices attached to it. I've had no problems. Very happy with it.

Yes it should work perfectly fine. The only reason why it wouldn't work is if the actual port is broken.

Sorry, I don't know. I purchased it for someone else and that person left the office.

Its here on my desk top right now, thus it is easy to verify your question. NO, the unit immediately went off line and disconnected. Upon application of the power it came back on line. I selected this unit for two reasons: USB 3.0 and the higher current capacity. I have in the past been frustrated with "low cost" hubs that won't charge a phone for example. Hope this helps. Michael

This will supply both to you've device . Although the power data I'd near useless.

It is "powered" through the USB port, so expect it to provide only as much power downstream as it receives. In particular, it may not power multiple of those portable hard drives that get power through USB, but it probably will power a single one, depending on how much power it receives from the port it is plugged in.

the usb port is for outgoing power, and as long as u have ur own cable, it'll power just like any other USB. very versatile device for 20$. =)

Yes that should work, though you would be limited to the power levels delivered by a single USB port.

No, this cable splits basically to add another power source. There is only one signal traveling through the USB. This basically separated the signal line and the power line of the USB.

To power the unit, you must plug two "pigtail" USB plugs into a computer. I don't think it could really be used on much else since the software has to be compatible.

I just confirmed that the Plugable USB 2.0.4 will power an RPi unit directly. The RPi only draws 5W, so it's safe.

You may but at your own risk. I believe that may go against your local electrical code since you are mixing two different voltages in the same j box. Plus I think the power supply is DC. I think the best way is to have a power receptacle that is controlled by a wall switch.

No. Just two USB ports. One for power & data and another just for additional power.

If you hook the the additional USB to a power source, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just make sure the additional power only cable is the one you hook to power only.

I did not try this but I doubt that it could work. The USBs are: USB3 with blue for data and the other one, USB2 only for power. You can use another power source instead and the you will use only the USB3 for data.

No, the two ports just provide power. When you plug things in the computer see nothing.

No, power goes into the unit, not out of it. The "USB input" on this device is for power only, it is "micro-usb."

I purchased the 7 port unit which has a power supply. I am more cofident in say the 7 port unit will work. I doubt the non power unit will work. I hope that helps you.
