Will this cable work with a USB hub, or does it need to be connected directly to the PC from the APC?

I would recommend a straight connection. However it does depend on what else is on the usb hub. if you have a hard drive or anything that requires more attention from the hub. I would recommend definitely not.

For that question if contact APC support online. They are very responsive even if your product is out of warranty.

I haven't tried either, but it should work. Since the hub takes up more space in a small area that I like, I don't use with my laptop.

I use a powered usb hub. So I can plug many things into the hub and it has it's own power pack. Then I don't overload the onboard power from the pc.

It is an antenna with a built-in usb powered amplifier. That is why you should install it on a powered usb hub. The powered hub has a more robust power supply than a typical PC usb port. A PC usb port has to share its limited power with several other ports attached to the same internal hub. The powered hub requires virtually no PC power and simply relays the amplified antenna signal into the PC's usb port. Microsoft drivers and instructions are supplied with the antenna on a CD or are downloadable. Good luck!

If you are referring to the USB cable that goes from the hub to the PC the answer is yes. If you are referring to the power supply adapter that is included with the unit it is not permanently attached but it is proprietary and you must use the adapter that comes with the hub. However, you can plug the adapter into a household extension cord and plug that into a power strip or wall outlet in order to achieve the desired extra length.

I don't know since my unit is only connected to a television and a music system. However, I have had no problems of any sort with my APC, and it performs beautifully.

Any standard mini-usb (5-pin) to USB type-A cable will work for hooking them up to a computer or hub.

I'm donating it so it's packed away right now. I seem to recall a cable that had a standard A connector on it. Whatever it was, it didn't meet my needs, and I bought a 2 port front panel USB 3 unit.

via mini-USB cable attached to PC or if you have a charger/hub that has a usb port or a mini-usb cable.

No, it will probably not work. This is a custom cable to connect an APC UPS to a USB port (mac or pc.) It is not a standard usb or network cable.If you are connecting to a router, you should use either a standard RJ45 network cable or a standard USB A-B cable, depending on which the net gear router will support.

No. This cable is custom to allow you to configure the settings on a APC UPS.

The cable is an rj 50 not an rj 45 and converts the APC data output to USB. So then you just need a usb extension cable.Hope this helps

It depends on its power usage. It may require the full 500mA coming from your computer's USB port. A hub shares its power limit across its ports. As long as no other devices attached to the hub require port power, it should work fine attached to it. If there is any doubt, don't do it as you are running the risk of data loss and physical damage to the card(s) and/or reader.

Yes. The USB 3.0 cable on the hub was connected to a USB 3.0 port on the back of the PC. A 2.5" drive in a USB 3.0 enclosure (not powered) was plugged into the Sabrent hub and the PC recognized the drive and its contents were visible on the PC. Then a 3.5" drive in a powered USB 3.0 enclosure was plugged into the Sabrent hub and it was also recognized by the PC. I reran the test using a USB 3.0 port in the front of the PC case and again both drives were recognized.But I've generally found that most USB hubs work "best" when they are plugged into the USB ports at the rear of the PC and not the ones on the front of the PC case that are connected to the motherboard headers.

Yes, you just need a USB port. It doesn't matter what the operating system is. I hope this helps. I am very happy with my hub.

Can't help specifically, but it is a USB2.0 hub, so as long as your PC connects with 2.0 connector, it should work.

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.
