Hi Deb! We'll double check this one with the relevant team and update you the soonest.

it charged my iphone, but not my ipad. Interestingly, after testing this out, the mouse & keyboard I have plugged into it stopped functioning. Solution: unplug USB hub from laptop and plug back in. Working fine now.

It does charge. I also put screws thru the black plastic base to attach the hub to the side of my desk for wire managment and easy access. Has worked for many months with no problems

Yes. There are 2 USB ports and you can charge any devices that have a USB plug, even 2 iPads or 2 iPhones. They don't have to be different types of devices.

Most USB 2.0 hubs will recharge devices, except tablets. USB 3.0 has even more capability (900 ma vs 500 ma), but still not enough for tablets. Also, be careful not to exceed the combined capacity of the power adapter. Multiple low current devices should be okay, but limit the number of phones and devices that are more power power hungry to two at a time.

Exactly! You can plug as many devices as there are available ports and they will all work, as long as USB hub is connected to your computer.

If you are going to want to charge devices, you'll have to get a power adapter to use with the hub. Right now it will split the 5V coming from the laptop into however many devices are plugged in.

No, it will not work as a USB hub at all. It will only charge elcectronic devices....

Yes, and since it has two USB outputs you can charge two devices. Even when it's plugged in

I have connected aver 4 different devices at once (3 Smart phones, 1 Tablet) to charge without any issues. Charging using a wall charger probably is faster. As a usb hub it a great product.

The USB hub itself is a powered device and connects to an outlet. It will charge anything as long as it is powered to an outlet.

yes it does - comes with one USB port and another input that includes a cord to convert it to usb - so it can charge two devices at once. :)

Flash drives and HDD's will do fine on this hub. far as I know it doesn't have a dedicated charging port. all 10 ports look the same to me. I have hooked my smartphone and tablet to the hub and they both charge on any port as well as show up on my PC for data transfer at the same time.

Its not a hub, that is it does not allow you to connect multiple USB devices to a single USB port. Its only a charging station, allowing you to connect power to 4 devices that charge via a USB port (2x1amp, 2x2amp devices)

No. It plugs to the swith or hub. Unless you use a doble net card. Not common at all.

Yes. Plug device into your computer and you can charge @ your computers' speed. To use the four (4) high speed connections (the one that swivel) the hub must be plugged into a electrical outlet. It can also be used plugged into an electrical outlet while connected to your computers' usb port. Hopefully this will help you a bit.

Maybe they have changed this device recently but the cable on my hub is 10" long. The power is supplied by the source USB to which the hub is connected. You will only get out what you put in. As such it will not charge power hungry devices like an iPad when connected to a computer but will when connected to a wall charger.

AC adapter is not included in the package. You can find a matching AC adapter easily at local electronics retailers such as Radio Shack. USB ports in typical USB hub provides 500mA of power only. It is ideal for low-power USB devices such as flash drives, mice and keyboard. USB Hub is not ideal to charge devices such as smartphone (1A minimum power requirement) or tablet (2.1A minimum power requirement).

The one I got does not. It was the one drawback and I would try and find a USB charger that does do this if you are looking.
