What is maximum power or current (@5 VDC) that the hub can provide to connected devices? Thanks.

Am using it in Kuwait, and our electricity is 240, it work fine. I use many item work from USA as long they use transformer and Power is 100- v The ac adapter out put 5v, 4000mA

Sorry, that is too technical for me. I usually have about 8 - 10 usbs plugged into it.

I continuously run two 3GB external hard drives and occasionally plug in a third and never had any indication of a problem. Since this hub has an external power supply I doubt that you will have any problems. It is an exceptionally well-made hub.

I use the USB switch with a powered hub. (The switch has no external power.) If you need a powered hub, I don't know. I changed to using a powered hub and have found the hub more reliable than a non-powered hub.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Thanks for posting your question here, ck001! Both ports on the 2 port hub share the available power from the one upstream port.If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com.

I think you might possibly be able to connect then together using a usb hub with multiple alternative usb connectors to get a stronger current, unless they have an in-built system to specifically prevent this.

NO! It is a powered hub. Having said that, I love these puppies. I've got 5 total in use and highly recommend them. (See my earlier review.) on USB 3 items, they'll draw power from their own power supplies and the computer itself, you DON'T ever want to take a chance of burning out the USB on your puter or the device (Like hard-drives) due to a low power situation, EVER!The plugable 7 port hub is lighted to let you know when the device is properly connected and powered, on each port.

In general you can charge USB devices on a powered hub with out a computer. I do it with my FitBit, cellphone and my son's 3DXL. As far as this hub is concerned, it under powered. Their 10 port has more power and USB 3.I bought the 12 found it not capable to power 6 devices at 2.5 watts and reviewed them with my experience. They responded to tell me in my needs I should use their 10 port and return the 12. I have done that and the 10 port is doing the job.

Puts out the same 500ma (460-466ma) your PC does, so if it will charge with that then it will charge on the hub just plugged into the AC Power.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here! No, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HKIDF2 is a bus powered hub and is not expected to work for your intended setup. We have had other customers who got this product after reading http://blog.jdslabs.com/?p=838 and were disappointed when it did not work. Hope the above information helps!

The USB port outputs 5V DC, the Amps it can provide is 1A making the Wattage 5.

Absolutely not!!! This is strictly a USB device that runs on 5 volts. To my knowledge there is no such thing as a hub that runs on 110 or 220 volts. Given that USB 3.0 works so well there would be no need for a hub to run on high AC voltages. Good luck!

That other answer is not entirely correct. A powered hub can operate on USB power only. It does not NEED to be plugged into AC. It will work the same as an un-powered hub, which will limit you to a total of 500mA of current draw from all ports combined. However, if you use the AC adapter then you will have up to 500mA per-port (2A total).So if you are only going to connect low powered devices, or self powered devices, then the AC adapter can be considered optional. If you need to connect devices that draw more power (portable hard drives, USB powered scanners, burners, etc.) then you would need to use the AC adapter to supply the additional power.

I belive the mini USB 5 pin is the same but i'm not sure about the power requirements. Sorry

This hub meets the USB 2.0 standard of 5VDC at 0.5 amps maximum per port. Apparently some Apple devices require more current than this.

It's got a wall wart, and can deliver about an amp and a half per port to devices, if the devices understand how to ask for it. One thing, is that the power supply walwart only provides 3 amps to the hub in total, so, about half the potential total draw.

In the switching adapter there are informations that may help you: OUTPUT : +5v - 4A This output is the hub input.

Depends on the USB adapter. It rated to work with USB 2.0 power standards. 5V 500mA or .500A. I don't feel, see or hear any difference from using a 2.0 hub or a 3.0 hub. Sorry I don't have a usb power meter to confirm its actual power draw. In short if the adapter is rated for at least 500mA then yes. Its not dead silent. You will hear and feel the wind from it. Depending on the position of the fan you might hear some motor or mechanical noise.
