My aconia w4 has only ONE micro USB port- will this cable enable me to power my table and connect peripherals- e.g. a usb splitter -at the same time?

I bought the cable to charge an old HDD, I don't know if it can be used to connect more things.

This adapter has a female slot and the adapter to power also has a female slot, therefore you may need a male-male USB cable to connect them together, but I am not sure will work. You may want to check this device specifications first, it is suggested for USB input devices only.

Arthur I used to use this for an IBM T23 Think Tank. Was good for USB connections 1.0 and I think raised connectivity to 2.0. I don't recall the plug or power issues but remember it worked well. Sorry I can't give you the technical info at this time. Have simply forgot how it worked. SamN

It isnt anything special. Just make sure you get a mini usb to 2 regular usb cable. (Yes, that is one end is a MINI USB (not micro) and then the other end will have 2 regular sized USBs.) It is because one pulls power and the other actually send/receives the data IIRC

The eSata port is only for power. The supplied USB 3 Cord is also backward compatible with USB 2 and USB 1. This peripheral was found to be a very good investment.

The device is powered by the AC adapter. It also works without the AC adapter, but it has its limitations "current-wise". I've used without the AC adapter to connect one mouse and a keyboard and it worked fine. But, because it is a 7 door USB HUB, you might use it to connect other devices, such as hard disks, for example. In this case you must use the adapter. The USB 3.0 cable is that data cable used to connect the device to your computer.

By "splitter" I hope you mean a USB hub... Those work fine for me for low power devices, just remember the repeater used some of the power of the port it is plugged into... so higher powered devices like card readers and battery chargers may not work without a powered hub with it's own power pack... Potentially, some fancy keyboards may not get enough power because of backlights or other extra features. (I have not noticed this with any mice) Hope that helps someone...

This one works great with all USB ports. I'm thinking of getting another. Good luck to you.

I have connected keyboards, mice, external hard drives, and combo keyboard and touchpads to it. All worked fine. It has effectively two USB ports--a regular one and an on the go port that will also let you access it from a computer. If you need more than two USB connections you will need a hub, and the advice to use a powered hub is good, especially if the additional devices are like a network card, bluetooth dongle, or dongle for a wireless keyboard.

I think it's restricted to 2.4 amps per port, however, this should not be an issue, no device that charges using USB pulls 4 amps

If you want only usb cable, yes. It is not AC powered, though. I use one to supplement an AC powered 4-port USB hub.

Yep! I use it on my surface pro 2 to power multiple USB devices. I'm usually running my external keyboard, a flash drive and my mouse off of it. Edit: USB 3.0 speeds are there, I tested it with my USB 3.0 capable flash drive. Speeds will vary depending on your storage device, and how many devices you have plugged into the hub at a time.

The devices will run only as fast as the 'weakest link in the chain'. I have several USB 3 devices plugged into the Satechi 4 port hub, but my laptop/tablet only supports USB 2.0 and they just run at the slower 2.0 speeds (quite noticeable, but they still work). I tolerate the speed drop. When I upgrade my laptop/tablet to something with USB 3.0 I will benefit from the speed boost then. I am patient if anything. ;)

None. But I've used a cheap, unpowered multi-port hub with a mouse, headphones and this keyboard without any problems. Might struggle if you want to run an external DVD drive or something though, in which case plug the power-hungry thing directly into your computer and use the hub for weaker things. Or get a powered (AC plug-in) hub - they aren't that expensive.

Hi jim, I bought this to connect two regular ( may be type A ) USB male ended wires the connection I made it was between external hard drive and tablet which did not work for me but there was no problem about the quality of particularly this blue piece of product. If both wires you are using are USB male ended on each side you can try and I hope the best for you. I never get advantage of it but I kept for the future in case if ever I need it again.

the one I got would not work for that. Only 2 of the 7 usb ports worked and if I tried to use both at once it would not power the devices.
