Does this have direct signal boosters, or is it a single port hub? Hub logic will not work in our application.

there is some circuitry in the female end of the cable. I have assumed it was a modest booster, since i never have seen loss with this in use with wifi antennas, though I use it on Linux and not Windows.

I believe it's a direct signal booster. I'm using it with a Canon pro9000 printer with problems.

I could not receive a signal at my house location with the supplied cord/Ccrane antenna. I purchased the 33ft/10 meter cord to install the CCrane WiFi antenna in my attic. I had no need for the 33ft extension because I could not receive a signal,I planned ahead but failed.in my attic.

I don't know. It didn't work in either of my applications (an RTL-SDR TV/radio receiver, and a USB-to-RS232-serial adapter). The problem appeared to be too many lost frames over the USB interface, the drivers would get confused and "give up".

I have not seen anything on the device or on the box or in the instructions that says that it is limited to 500 on each port.I am suggest you ask the manufacturer about that because That information is not there to be found.Ask corporate for an answer.

I don't think this will help with signal improvement! This is a port switch thacharts two computers use one printer. Hope this answer helps

All I know is this. It is non-powered hub. Works for multiple flash drives *as many as three have worked at the same time for me*, but if you try external hard drives you will run into difficulty because there is insufficient power from a single USB port to run multiple devices that need more power. t

No. One port is one signal. You couldn't even get two displays with one port and a splitter.

To my knowledge it only sends one signal to two devices, I was hoping it could be used for two separate devices and have no luck as yet but am still trying...

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

I didn't have luck with it at all. Then I got a Unitek 3+1 port USB3.0 Hub, also off Amazon...super cheap powered hub and works great, no problems

Yes it does. (it can ply send signal to one output at a time) But it's also very frail. Internal components not securely tightened.

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
1457698
No it does not because it is only a switch (hub) to be used to connect other devices.
1817197
No. It is *not a powered hub* and for the record, this is not just a "hub" in the normal sense. This is to switch up to 4 USB devices between 2 computers. I use it for a mouse, keyboard, and microphone and for those devices it works fine. This includes a Razer mouse that does not fully work with at least some other KVM solutions.

I've never tried that, but I do know that the three input ports are set to detect incoming signals and automatically switch to that port. I'm not sure if that detection system would interfere with trying to make those ports output ports.

Yes. Old description. And supports usb SCSI mode which is rare for these. Even through a hub if the hub supports it. I like the anchor hubs.

Cable signal is non-directional. The "out" label is only a suggestion. I can't imagine there is a smart circuit in such a cheap simple product.

I am running a single hub, that controls 4 blasters. Each port on the back of the hub controls two blasters that are spliced together. If you splice them together, be careful not to cross the wires...positive to positive and neg to neg.
