Can you hook up a bigger power adapter to boost amps to each device, or would that fry its circuits?

To Everyone. I brought this adapter. Opened it up on Xmas Day, plugged it in, walked out of the room. I saw a orange glow out the corner of my eye and I started to smelled smoke. I walked back into my bedroom and the area rug was on fire.The adapter was on the floor by the baseboard. My floors are concrete, the sparks caught onto the rug. I'm so glad I was home when this adapter started a fire on the area rug in my bedroom and burn down my apartment.

This is about a cheap of a hub as you can get. It even got warm to the touch with the adapter it came with, so I'm sure using a higher power adapter would fry it. I suggest spending the money for a good quality usb 3.0 hub.

I tried it with a 12v 2A adapter which was way too big. It not only broke the hub, but it also overloaded certain USB ports on my motherboard and it fried my LAN port and audio controller, so I probably wouldn't recommend it. If you're cautious and know what you're doing, I guess you could try it though.

I am not familiar with this. I guess you would have to look at the "specs" of the "thing" you want to plug in and see what it's power requirements are.

You could, but it will not work. Different transfer protocols and different wattage(might cause damage).

Not a problem to use an adapter with more capacity (amps). Bad to use one with less capacity. The monitor will only use the amount of amps that is required.

I never have, but i don't see why not.... as long as it fits into the adapter...and that all the devices power-draw (watts) all together don't exceed the USA/euro converters rated wattage and/or amperage rating

Yes. Keep in mind though that you'll probably need to use two USB cable spots to power the device. It's unusual but works fine.

I don't think sow , the amp. will not be enouth , look for something more powerfull Sr.

You can use adapter but make sure that the current and voltage both are good for this device.That means you should check the power output of your adapter which must be same or more than the power (Wattage) of this device.

Yes you can, I believe the amps will drop to 500ma for each device, and it will take a bit longer, especially for the tablet but for overnight charging it will work.

Sure you could connect it to any watt system.. It itself isn't amplified so cannot hurt any system.. And I believe this one does not have balanced XLR out's,so you'd want to get two DI(Direct In boxes) and use two 1/4-Inch cables from the main out to the DI's..

Even if this adaptor put out a full amp, you would be OK. This adaptor (I bought 2) doesn't put out 400mA, much less the claimed amp. I didn't use them in time to be eligible for returns.

Yes. Even on USB 2.0, you may choose to use ONLY the black power/signal connector. It's really up to the component you are trying to power up, whether you need the added 0.5-ampere power boost afforded by having the red auxiliary power pigtail. Some circuits/devices just can't run on the low juice provided by one USB 2.0 hole, so for those, you add the extra "boost" line (red one).

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

Yes. Just don't plug in 3 heavy duty things at the same time and overload your circuitry.

This is a voltage converter, not amperage. To get more amperage you need a larger power source.

NO. The amperage rating is too low for this little device. Also it has the wrong type of plug pins.

I would not advise you to do this. Power outputs do not mutiply ma by tieing them together. Try to find a power supply the supports 1500 ma.
