What is the "OUT ___ dB" for the 8 ports? I can't read it from the picture. Some of the reviews say it doesn't come with a power supply.

The manufacturer says unity gain which means no loss or gain. The specification chart shows 0.5 dB gain which only about 12%. Considering the return loss from the connectors, unity is fairly accurate.

What is says is "Out 0 dB". It means there is zero loss going through the splitter. One of the 8 ports is marked "Modem -5dB". That one is not amplified, and will still pass signal if power is lost. It does come with the power supply.

David, I am going to guess you probably have a defective one, or the power supply is not providing power, do you have a green light? I use all 7 ports, but if I was to unplug it it would fail, if you do have a green light than send it back as it is having trouble, also I would not recommend keyboard / mice, while I have not had trouble for short periods of time, when I went long term sometimes I would need to reset the hub to find the device. While I would not recommend it, in theory you can daisy chain these things up to like 122 devices, but I would urge no one to do it as I have no idea how it would go on powered hubs like these

was wandering the same thing but i did some research and its a active speaker with 625RMS/900WATT Max...Im 80% sure that this information is true but will keep looking cuz i was looking to get one too....also if you wanted to know the SPL output is 132 DB

Agreed. I bought it assuming the advertisement on Amazon was correct... USB power. To confirm I even looked at the list of what comes in the box. No power supply is listed. Irritating to say the least.

Yes, it needs 24pin power supply, and an 8pin 12V connector. It also needs a bios update right out of the box, IIRC. Very solid board once updated.

This amplifier has a bridged (BTL) output. This means that neither the plus or minus output for each channel connects to ground - nor should you connect anything between them and ground. The BTL output allows the output to swing to the full 12 volt power supply - or (in theory) makes four times the power because P = V (squared)/load impedance. This makes potential output power about 18 watts per channel into an 8 ohm load. (12 * 12)/8 = 144/8 = 18 watts. In reality, it's probably 10 - 12 watts per channel. Another trick you can use with the BTL output is to connect a single speaker to the + terminal of one channel and the - of the other, which will give you a mono output.

Hello, this power supply is if nothing total over kill, it will push up to 4 video cards with 2 8 bin or a 8 and a 6 pin connection. You'll find that it will handle more then most will use, but it is not the type of wires that can be removed if your not using some of the connection, but for me, this is not a problem. I will say it's not meant to be in any case smaller then a stander atf, ... Hope this helps

I always go to the manufacture's website to verify specs before buying. Their site says, "Power requirement 600W (with one 6-pin and one 8-pin external power connectors)." Why Amazon's product copy is different I can't say.

7 db for each port. This is a very good device. It's possible to amplifier with a good signal up to 8 tv.

It requires one 6-pin and one 8-pin for power. So long as your PSU has that, you should be fine. A power supply that can't support it won't have those extra hookups.

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

The cable you see in the picture. Your power supply (inside the computer) should have some extra plugs.

Get the 7 port version with the 4A power supply, that I can say with almost absolute certainty.

I'm donating it so it's packed away right now. I seem to recall a cable that had a standard A connector on it. Whatever it was, it didn't meet my needs, and I bought a 2 port front panel USB 3 unit.

Mine didn't, it is plugged into the monitor which provides the power. It's perfect for my setup. I think there's another version of this out there somewhere which has the power supply though, I am pretty sure I saw it when I was shopping for this.

Sorry I never hooked up the internal USB port on this card. If the out side ports work then most likely the internal port is bad. If the external enclosure gets its power from the USB port and it will work on the out side port I would say its bad. Did you try some other USB device on the internal port? If it worked but will not work with the external enclosure then it means it does not have the right connection to supply power to the enclosure.

You can use the 8 pin power cable if you have it available the one provided is just an adapter if your power supply doesn't have 8 pin connectors.
