Does this adapter work without the AC cable connected (i.e: bus powered)?

Experimentation tells me that the answer is NO. My experience with bus powered USB hubs has been problematic. Commonly you get a "power fault" on one or more of the devices involved and restoration is very difficult without rebooting (ugh).

You need to connect the AC power to power this 7 port hub. It come with the unit.

Hi Nicolas Raddatz,No, this hub is self-powered, so it needs the AC adapter is plugged to ensure stable performance. Anker Team1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

No. When you unplug the power cable it will shut off the unit. There is a power button on the back that needs to be pushed when plugged back in but it doesnt seem to have a passive mode.

I believe mine came with an AC Adaptor. I don't USB would be enough even if it was an option.

No, the voltage pin on the cable is a power output. I learned this the hard way when I could not find docs online and ended up frying my board by connecting it to an external supply.

Computer operates on batteries which last a long time (~2 years for my first batteries). I don't see any site for an ac adapter to be attached.

If power adaptor is an issue you can get by without using it. It takes the computer's internal 4 pin molex connector which is a day saver.

No it came with the old 30 pin adapter. No to AC adapter. But came with several other pin adapters. It can be charged off a computer USB port. I just picked up inexpensive USB wall adapter for it. It charges perfectly fine from it.

No--but it may require an adapter if you are traveling abroad. Works great.

The AC adaptor is not needed, it use the power from the USB3 which is adequate. However, it does have a mini DC plug that use 5 volts if you have to use the adaptor. I do not use this plug at all for this device or any other device that using the USB2 or USB3.

It appears to work powered by the AC adapter or the USB 3.0 cable alone. My USB 3.0 external hard drive works without the AC adapter. However in order to charge attached devices like my mobile phone, the AC adapter has to be plugged in.

No. It has an ethernet out port, a cable in port, and a port to connect to the AC adapter.

Mine came with a AC power adapter. I plugged it into my power strip and it worked fine

No. Adapter loses connection and drops in and out intermittently. Not usable at all.

It takes a AC to DC adapter... the input is DC so it depends on the adapter.

My Fantom drive does have an AC adapter - not pulling power from the desktop.

I do not own a DC adapter for it at all. I have been using solely battery power. Thanks
