Does power cut off/on both devices with one touch?

No, unless both happen to be on the same frequency (not likely) - you would need to select either the TV or Cable button to choose the device you want to control. Not sure it is the best way to go, but I just turn the TV on/off and leave the cable box on all the time. I have heard cable boxes use just about the same amount of power when they are off (actually "stand-by") as when they are on.

the way i see it if you only use one port at a time you get full power. 1/2-power when both in use.

Sorry. Cannot help with this answer. Never tried using multiple devices at the same time.

No, power goes into the unit, not out of it. The "USB input" on this device is for power only, it is "micro-usb."

That's happened to me on occasion, but it usually reconnects on its own. I find that it does the disconnect thing more often when it's getting closer to time to charge it. I think may be some power saver feature.

This is more for maintaining a connection and preventing glitches when one or both devices are powered down

I tried to split and I got terrible feed back. So both unit must completely power off. I don't think it would work.

I am not sure, but if you couldn´t just plug both ports, it probably means it isn´t possible, since there is a single "on" switch...

They both need to be plugged in on the same circuit. If you have them both plugged in then throw the circuit breaker for that circuit they should both turn off. Just be careful of what else may be on that circuit. Hope that helps.

as far as I know, that is impossible. Depending on your case, you might have a main power switch on the back that completely cuts all power, you could use that, but otherwise, I know of no way to do so

If you are referring to the "always on" outlet it doesn't matter if anything is plugged into it or the device that is plugged in is off or on standby. All the outlets are in parallel not in series.

as I use different devices, get different power outputs, so seems to be the amount the device connected to it is pulling through

Try the 1A port insted of the 2.1 port. It switches OFF if a minimum treshold power is not withdrawn. Hence some low power gadgets including my iphone tend to put it OFF. I charge it in conjunction with other gadget on the other port or play a video and pause it to keep screen ON and increase power consumption.

No. There isn't room on the face for any more stuff. With two source devices plugged in, you turn one off and then turn the other one on.

No! This works as a one way splitter. You'll need a switch box. If both devices are accidentally turned on at the same time you may damage your electronics.

not sure what the power is when two devices are plugged in, but I can charge two ipads at the same time...

I cannot say. I had to throw mine away as both of them, when plugged into our smart phone would charge the phone, and then discharge it.
