If you use this only for an Apple device, will the full 12W 2.4A be allocated to the single port?

Not sure, but I can completely charge my iPhone within a couple of hours when the battery is very low.

I'm not a genius, but it appears to function the way you describe. The instructions indicate that the "A" port (I assume the "A" stands for Apple) will put out the 2.4 A when used as a single port. The second port, labeled "NA" is for non-Apple devices, although I charge my iPhone with it. The catch is when you plug in two devices, the overall output is still 2.4A, but it is distributed to both ports.Hope that helps!

I have a TOSHIBA ENCORE and if it doesnt get a full 2A, it wont charge at all, no trickle, NOTHING. Using this adapter, my ENCORE would NOT charge, no matter what port I plugged it into. The instruction book claims that it will send all 2.4A to one port. The A and NA are for Apple and Non-Apple, because proprietary apple crap needs a different type of charge signal, it has nothing to to with how many amps are sent to the ports. At this point I would have to say that it splits 2.4A into TWO 1.2A. I had to return it for that reason.

Not exactly sure how it shares out the power over the ports. I can say that you can charge an iPad and an iPhone at the same time using both ports. Though only one port will charge the iPad when both ports are in use.

It is more complicated than that. Batteries don't necessarily absorb the full current potential of a charger. As an example a batt at 75% charge may only absorb 700ms of the total 2.4A (2400ma) of the charger. So measuring the current output of a charger connected to a device is not a valid measurement of the charger's output potential. There is no simple way to measure the full output of any battery charger except with a device called a load bank and an ammeter which the average person does not have. You really have to take it on faith that the charger does what it says. And as previously mentioned different Apple devices use special cables or circuitry in the device to limit charge current so that you do not put 2.4A into an ipod and burn it up as an example.

Wow, did nobody read the Product description? This is assuming that the company is being truthful and doesn't get into which version of the iPad you have ,although the Apple Charger is 10.5W (5V@2.1A) and this is normally the fastest rate that most Vendors will claim. Product Description:"Apple Port:iPad @ 2.4 Ampere Max. iPhone / iPod Touch @ 1 Ampere Max. " So, according to the company, if you are charging an iPad then YES it will get the full 2.4A at 5V (12W) if you want to charge an iPhone on this then NO it will only charge at 5W (5V@1A).

No, the most you get from each individual port is 2.4 amps. Or the 4.2 amps using both at the same time.

I think it's restricted to 2.4 amps per port, however, this should not be an issue, no device that charges using USB pulls 4 amps

I have used a single port successfully with a MacBook Pro using a regular USB 3.0 cable (as well as the cable provided, just without plugging in the second plug). Your results might vary depending on how much wattage your USB ports provide but it worked for me!

Oh, yes! The labeled ipad port have 2.1. If your another brand device needs 2.1 amp or less, you can use the port!

No, it won't work without the adapter. One port wouldn't supply enough power for that.

No, this is the ACTIVE mini display port to DVI-D adapter. You'd use this if you need an active link (like if you've got a MacPro with an ATI 5770 card and you want to drive 3 displays. Apple's version is PASSIVE so you can only support 2 displays.) A dual link adapter will be labeled as such and will probably be more expensive.

The specs provide the information you are asking. It provides 2.1A per port simultaneously which is enough to charge two ipads at the same time as quickly as if you were using two individual ipad chargers. In practice, it seems to work as advertised although I don't have any way of measuring the output while both units are charging.

I run it from my Belkin thunderbolt docking station connected to my mac book pro (only way to get USB3.0 on that old sucker). Works fine, so I would assume a hub would be OK as well.
2143313
Yes it will. I originally had 1 single port set, but I needed to extend and expand ports in another location, so I added a 4 port unit and synced it. It works just fine.
1320534
I have a 2.0 hub attached to one port on this unit and it works fine. Not a problem.
2072912
Yes, two iphones two iPads etc. One of the ports, the one for the iPad, charges whichever device attached to it slightly faster. It is rated with higher amps.
1660996
You can plug in 2 devices, just do not exceed the amp limit for the port. An iPad can only go on the 2 amp port.
263633
Nope. Use any port for any item, such as any phones &/or iPads or other tablets. Just do not exceed the 6.2 Amp maximum. Interestingly enough, I discovered that when I went above the max output of the charger it proceeded to charge 2 iPads & 1 iPhone while keeping the third iPad "on hold" until one of the other three items were charged. Then it polished off my phone. Hope this helps. This is the best of 4 chargers I have had. The other thee went into the trash.

I'm not sure what fully compatible means but this hub works great with my Retina MacBook Pro 2012 as long as you understand the limitations. USB devices draw power, some more than the others. For example, a USB memory stick takes little power, whereas a USB powered hard drive like the Western Digital Passport draws its entire power from the USB bus. This hub will probably support one high power consuming device and 3 low power device at the same time and no more. In other words, it cannot take a HD, a DVD-RW, and charge your iPad at the same time. On the other hand, if you only plug in low power devices like keyboard, mouse, memory stick, etc. you can use all 4 ports simultaneously.

Yes, it can be used to charge two Android devices at once. My understanding is that the apple port only charges an Android device at 1.5A, but the Apple device at 2.1A. It charges my S3 pretty darn quick though.
