Does this hub provide power the source/upstream plug? Not shown in specs.

If I understand you right, yes. The hub is powered and will provide power to any thing plugged into it (optical mouse, keyboard, Thumb drive). The 2 "high" power ports are for fast charging something but does not fast charge if the hub is connected to a PC. They supply the usual USB voltage.

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.

No, I do not. I bought it for a friend and will try to find out. I think that I actually ended up with a similar but more powerful power supply.

I know this isn't answering you question, but I don't know. I don't even use mine anymore because it wasn't so great. I recommend getting a Belkin USB hub.

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.

Mine came with a power brick, for what it's worth. I believe that this hub corrupted my external usb 3.0 hdd, and pretty much killed it. Don't know this for a fact but I don't use it anymore.

In the switching adapter there are informations that may help you: OUTPUT : +5v - 4A This output is the hub input.

It should act just as any other powered USB hub. Just make sure you have proper power supplied.

yes. It's a fairly high powered hub. Works best if plugged into a USB 3.0 port on a computer.

No, you only need a power supply and network cable. I used a 130w for mine. Powers fine.

The hub has one high output power port on the side, that uses the AC adapter. The other 3 ports seem to run power through the main line without the AC adapter. How much power are you going to need to run you Hard drive, I don't know. I do know that my iPad only will charge with the power plugged in and it hooked into the high output port.

I don't think it did. It just plugs into the motherboard for all its power needs. It was very easy to install and setup.

The hub will NOT work with out power. I tried it out with one USB drive and it will not read the drive until AC is added to the unit.

Hi Nicolas Raddatz, No, this hub is self-powered, so it needs the AC adapter is plugged to ensure stable performance. Anker Team 1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

Yes, it is a powered hub so that any connected devices have the required power. So there is a power connection, Computer connection and the 6 USB ports. Hope this helps! Paul

In general, I have found that the USB hubs that supply a wall-wart for power to the hub, do indeed NEED the power to the hub.Dick

The power supply plugs into any standard electrical outlet (110-115 V). I have not tried using the hub as a bus-powered device.
