Is this a powered hub? Does it come with a wall block?

No it has three built in outputs (the button to switch one input to the other and then the two USB outs to the computers) on the front there is a DC input, but mine is not pulled into a power source and has been working fine for the last year.

No wall block but it has a Micro USB Power Input port. When a micro USB cable is plugged into this switch and connected to a USB charger or other source, it becomes a powered hub.

It is powered via the USB connection from your computer(s). It has worked great for my husband and I sharing two printers between our two computers.

It doesn't have a separate power transformer. It's powered via the USB connection.

No. It is *not a powered hub* and for the record, this is not just a "hub" in the normal sense. This is to switch up to 4 USB devices between 2 computers. I use it for a mouse, keyboard, and microphone and for those devices it works fine. This includes a Razer mouse that does not fully work with at least some other KVM solutions.

No, I draws its power from the mother board. You may be thinking of USB hubs, which often require external power. Hope this helps.

Dear Annabelle, Unfortunately, our Premium 4 Port USB Hub is not powered, and will not power an external Superdrive (which is the case with most USB hubs) as they require over 500mA. The total amount of power going to the hub may not exceed 500mA. If you have any other questions or concerns please let us know. Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

If I understand you right, yes. The hub is powered and will provide power to any thing plugged into it (optical mouse, keyboard, Thumb drive). The 2 "high" power ports are for fast charging something but does not fast charge if the hub is connected to a PC. They supply the usual USB voltage.

Yes. I have connected multiple external hard drives to this hub. It is a powered hub and will power drives that are not externally powered themselves (Drives which have only a USB connector and no DC adapter input).

Not sure what the manual shows, but mine came with the AC wall power adapter. Came with everything needed. But if it's from an individual seller, they may not be supplying it.

There are 2 power sources. You can either plug in to USB or the wall for it to work.

It is internal. (No power block... just a cable from the television back to your power outlet.)

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.

Yes it includes everything. It's basically a plug and play installation, aside from the work to get the hub itself in.

Hi, It has a power converter that comes with it. It's a regular wall outlet plug in.

The brick is actually larger than the hub itself! That's how much power 10 USB 3.0 ports needs in order to remain stable!

No its powered all the time. Has a surge protector too. I have two and will be getting more.

No it comes with a USB to pin-type power cord only. No wall plug. Although you can find plugs that will work easily.

Yes. But when we got it it didn't look great where I planned tpo put it, so my husband installed it directly into a socket. Also, we avoiding drilling into the wall by doing it that way. Looks nice and is stable. But it really is a plug in unit by design.

No built in power supply just regular AC plug to wall...I think it's due to the glass dome light effect....this product packed some power, big hit at party and everyone asked me where they can buy one!

Hi, The other answer is correct. Some do come with a seperate wall plug for power, but this one has a USB-powered adapter.
