Is the USB-computer cable hard wired to the hub or will this hub accept any length cable from the computer?

Hi, Don. The unit has a USB port on the side to connect any length of cable you have on the computer.

Doesn't matter. It is a serial connection, USB 1.1 would work. The bigger question is if your USB cable is active / if you go over 15 feet you may have issues with a passive extension cable. You could place a powered hub in the middle and that would work out OK...

The USB is about 3 feet and the power cord is about 4 feet.I read that others have had trouble with their hubs, but mine works great and I am able to run three four dock Proboxes through each USB connection This gives me 12 3TB drives that my Win 7 machine sees as 12 different drives in addition to the three drives installed in the case.

I don't know. I would google something like "maximum length of a USB cable."

No it is a not a USB3 compatible hub.Any USB3 drives plugged into it will be downconverted to USB2and if it was to be plugged into a USB 3 port it would only be USB2 speeds.

The USB3 and USB2 cables are long enough that I needed to zip-tie the excess down on my full tower setup, I didn't measure but I'd say around 18 inches. The molex power connector was a bit shorter, but still had enough length to easily reach the adapter.

I won't remove the port to measure them. But I installed it perfectly in a Mid-tower case using a mATX Gigabyte motherboard. The USB 2.0, USB 3.0, power and SATA cable were long enough. The shortest one in fact was the power one but it was also the closest to the power supply unit so it wasn't a problem.

Yep. This is a USB 3 hub. I am running USB 3.0 hard drives, printer, ethernet cable from it and it is exceptionally fast.

I personally have used this extension Plugable 10 Meter (32 Foot) USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Type A Male to A Female Plugable 10 Meter (32 Foot) USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Type A Male to A Female It is possible you may need a powered USB hub at the end of the extension but I did not. I have used it for a Logitech unifying receiver and this controller module. This specific extension cable is amplified. It may not work with a webcam or other higher-power peripherals but you should be good to go.

At most 6 feet. That's usually the max useful length of USB cables before they need some kind of powered hub or repeater.

If you are referring to the USB cable that goes from the hub to the PC the answer is yes. If you are referring to the power supply adapter that is included with the unit it is not permanently attached but it is proprietary and you must use the adapter that comes with the hub. However, you can plug the adapter into a household extension cord and plug that into a power strip or wall outlet in order to achieve the desired extra length.

The USB cord is plenty long: 48 inches. By the way, this hub is great. I use it for all my USB drives, and the iPhone/iPad power ports are super handy.

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.

The hub has one USB. The readers hook into the hub and the hub plugs into the computer. It works great. Saved me so much time.
