Do the Hubdogs work in outlets?

Must be hooked in comp. to work. Rarely use it. Thought it would be good for travel. No so. We don't always take computer

I love this! On my laptop, I had a dongle that had trouble staying attached in the USB port. This works extremely well. Not only does it stay plugged in but I can plug 4 items onto the same USB port. I have my speaker power cord, my dongle and my wireless mouse all plugged in and all work on the same USB port.

I'm not sure if I quite understand the nature of your question. But tell you what, I have it plugged in to my computer via a USB cord with other USB ' S plugged into it and ever since I bought it, it hasn't given me any problems. It was bought mainly for computers. There are no provisions made for outlets or sockets.

If the outlet has a USB port, as in a laptop, then yes. It will only work with anything with USB port.

I was so wrong! Unfortunately, it is only used to transfer data, not to charge stuff. Was not what I thought it was, so sorry for mis-leading people.

No, it has attachment for computer only. It plugs into a hub on your computer which in turn gives you 5 hubs instead of one.

They are plug in units. They did not work for me. I would not recommend them.

They are located in the base that is attached to the wall. We have used the plug and that works just fine.

While my contractor initially installed this unit, I did have to remove and re-install it in my kitchen island for a repair service (control circuit board.) It is a straight plug in so no problem, assuming the outlet is in place. The unit is a little heavy for one person to manage, but it can be handled by two or if you use some sort of hand truck.

That is a excellent question. I assumed that they are since the surge would come from the AC 120 volt source at the outlet. I would think that the surge would hit the protection first before it could pass through the outlets. The JOULES rating of the device is not very high in the first place so the protection is minimal but is better than none at all. I purchased it because the prongs for the outlet fold up into the back and makes a nice compact package. The USB chargers work great also. I run my WIFI hot spot off one of the USB ports continually. Mediabridge makes excellent products. A really good surge protector would not be very portable and is bulky. The higher the JOULES rating the larger the protector and the higher the cost. Sorry for rambling but surge protection is a long complicated topic. Harold

No they do not. These units require that they be plugged into a 120v outlet.

Yes they do - that is exactly how we use the parent units - always powered on using their wall adapters.

No, it does not. Although Smarthome sells remotes that can be used to control the outlet.

Yes, I have the GFI outlets in my Kitchen and use them constantly. I have the Globe Electric 7732001 plugged into them. They work fine.

I have not used them yet, but looking at them, each will only use one outlet. You will still be able to use the other outlet.

Mine has worked in standard outlets just fine. Also utility lamps. So regular type I guess

Not in my opinion. You ned a Hub with electric power, because with the energy of the laptop only can connect 1 device , if you connect 2 devices and one of them is USB 3 , the device falls . I use 2 to 4 devices (Blu ray drive, Hard disk external) and they only work with a Hub with electric power. With this Satech Hub they don't work . Is a pitty because is very beautiful, but doesn't work , I'm sorry

The outlets are controlled together - they're all on or off at the same time, whether using the remote or the buttons on the unit.

Sorry, returned the products. They weren't what we wanted. Yes, they use outlets on the same loaded center bus.

neither , they plug into the wall. They have a power supply and plug into as standard wall socket

Yes, each unit requires an outlet.Very pleased with this system. We purchased 4 and use them upstairs and downstairs with great reception.

No, but outlets eventually die. Out of the three pack one works and my roommate has the same outlets and the same problem.
