Can it support/power a USB hub ?

as far as i can see, no, it does not. apparently, a usb hub needs drivers to operate and this isn't software driven. plugged into the car, i get an 'incompatible device' message.

Sorry, I did not try to connect a USB hub. This did not work in my MB so I had to buy another attachment.

I've tried it with a USB hub and it doesn't work. It works with a USB stick that's about it. I am running a 64g on my Benz

When I tried to pull that much current through this hub... it shorted out, and destroyed every usb peripheral that was attached to it. I believe by the power ratings it might work... but i wouldnt risk it.

Yes. Been using it at work with Raspberry Pi running raspbian for over a year. I use it to power a belkin wifi adapter, thumb drive, and mouse/keyboard.

No, it does not. It won't function as a hub without the power source either (at least not to devices that require power, eg, my WiFi card)

This hub is underpowered by almost 45%. USB 2.0 ports should be able to pull 500mA, so with 7 ports the AC adapter should supply 3.5 Amps. It only delivers 2. Almost every powered hub on the market seems to be similarly underpowered.

Yes, that should not be an issue as there are USB ports available on the side of unit. If you need more USB ports I would recommend getting a USB hub that is self powered.

didn't try that, but i don't see why not. with a separate usb hub of course.

I have no idea. The USB hub failed. I'd happily sell you the AC Adapter for cheap.

I think you might possibly be able to connect then together using a usb hub with multiple alternative usb connectors to get a stronger current, unless they have an in-built system to specifically prevent this.

The Belkin SuperSpeed USB hub will not provide power to the host computer nor draw power from computer battery. It has its own separate battery adapter.

I haven't personally tried this, but it is externally powered by an outlet, so I don't see why not. It would have enough power to work. But speeds will depend on your computers chipset, your external drives and the Hubs maximum supported rate.

This hub isn't for doing that. It's for adding USB slots when your computer's USB slots are filled. I have USB lines from two external drives, a printer, a mouse, and a cooling pad hooked up to my hub. You'll still need to plug your external drives power adaptors into a suge surpressor.

a good chance you will need a powered usb hub, but otherwise, yes it should. I've not found a laptop usb that can power it without the hub. However, the powered usb hub I have will power it, but only if the hub is not plugged in!!???!! Yeah, but expect some trial and error... good luck

Thank you for your question. This hub can function directly with USB cord connected. Power supply is not necessary when using low power consumption devices. Should you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us again. Thank you.

I have not tried it with a powered hub, but would be very surprised if it did not work

I believe you can. The USB hub splits the power and therefore it will probably take longer to charge both devices simultaneously. However, it should work. My opinion is based on powering a printer and a external disc drive using the Hub with no noticeable loss of function.

Yes, but you need to have two open usb ports, one of them usb 3.0, with the power being plugged into the usb 3.0. USB 2 doesn't provide enough power.
