Do the On/Off switch control the connection to the computer, just the power or both?

I would say its just to the computer. when I turn if off the computer will not see my hard drive hooked up to it tell I turn it back on. hope that helps

I don't know for certain if the computer connection is cut off. I do know the power is cut off which in most cases would cause what you have connected to not function. I often use the hub in conjunction with a couple of led lamps as makeshift desk lamp when travelling.

The switch cuts both power and data flow. Useful when a device doesn't know when to quit. For data devices (like flashdrives) it's the same as pulling the stick prematurely. You can test this with USB powered speakers.

Hello Louis, my name is George and I have 5 of these switches. The power switch works for add ons that need power. all 4 of the other switches work each usb port so you don't need to have all components working if there not needed at that time, there's also a usb port on the end of the switch that is for charging an item such as a phone etc. Hope this helps!

if the switch controlling the light fixture is on then the outlets on this adapter will be on. there is nothing special in this adapter to control the power.

The on/off buttons allow you to turn off power to 3 sections of the hub. I use mine to turn off external hard drives when not in use.

Yes, it has a switch that can be used to power it on or off. It connects immediately when you switch from the off position to the on.

This is powered by the a/c adapter, not the USB. I think it may know when to turn off and on because its hooked up to the computer. When the computer is on, it is on, and vice versa.

One switch for both. There is only one power wire connection to fan. It was designed to work off the remote.

I have no idea. But I do no that when energized its just a one way switch. When no power is sent to it it defaults to its de energized position.

There is no on/off switch for the docking station, however the power light is not always on. If the system is powered down or the computer is not present it will stay off.

Yes, the manual on/off switch is one of the four buttons on the top of the unit, and will toggle the power from any mode

The switch will control power to the fan, but even once the switch is turned on, you will still need to use the remote to turn it on - there is no memory function that saves the ON/OFF state of the fan thru a power cycle.

The enclosure does have an on/off switch. It worked great for what I needed. Opening and closing the enclosure is a little tricky if you are going to be swapping out drives. Adhesive steps under the top cover make it difficult to remove, but you don't have to use them.

When the hub is on and the computer is off, the attached devices are still being powered. The blue lights are to indicate that the port is in use. You have to manually turn the hub off to cut power to your attached devices.

Neither the mouse or keyboard have a power switch. I believe that it has an inactivity time out and powers off after a few minutes or when the computer is powered off. The first keystroke or mouse activity turns them on. Even Inland mice with a power switch operate this way.

Well, you need power. This switch will only help if you have a power line, but no means of turning it on and off.

The controlled outlets work off one device, which is plugged into the "master" outlet. I have my CPU plugged into that one, since I don't use the peripherals when the computer is off. Theoretically, you could plug anything into it, even a lamp, and when you turned it off all of the controlled outlets would go off as well. The outlets do stay on for 90 seconds after the "master" is turned off. Perhaps that is what is confusing you. Hope this helps.

No, there's no external on/off switch -- however, it does sense when it is plugged into USB, and automatically turns on when plugged in, and goes into standby when the drive is unmounted / unplugged from USB. It also turns on/off automatically when the computer turns on/off, if left plugged in. I find that this works out really well.The big LED strip indicates when the drive is on. It has a separate power supply.
