Product Description

The 4 Port Portable USB Hub is a compact, lightweight advantage for those in need of multiple USB ports. Its narrow, sleek pen-style design is excellent for mobility and is sure to blend in with any laptop or desktop computer set-up. This four-port hub connects to your computer instantly (no driver required) and provides a 2.0 hi-speed transfer rate up to 480 mbps for ultra-fast uploads. The over current detection offers protection for all four ports from power surges and short-circuiting of connected devices. It has a transparent removable door-cover over the USB ports to protect it from dust particles and a built in USB-A plug and cable with storage housing. Also included is an LED indicator that allows you to monitor its linkage status. This portable USB hub is the perfect instrument to fulfill the needs of those that lack multiple USB ports.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work, January 9, 2009

Unfortunately, this device looks pretty, and that's about it. I, like the person above me, get the "Hub as exceeded power requirements" and this was on a full blown PC, not just a laptop. I have a Targus ultra mini hub plugged into the same USB port, and it didn't have any problems.
Targus ACH74US Ultra Mini USB 2.0 4-Port Hub The targus is a much better product.

1.0 out of 5 stars hard to handle and no power, March 5, 2008

By	Howard Brainen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This seemed like a nice thing to have for hotel rooms and my laptop. Unfortunately it is poorly designed.

Very tricky to remove the covers and to get them back together. In fact, the only documentation that comes with the unit is a series of twenty illustrations for doing just that! There are ten steps "Before use HUB-249" and then ten more steps "After use HUB-249." I'll bet the wire on the plug end breaks after a few attempts to get it back in the case.

When I did plug it into the USB2.0 port on my desktop, everything I tried plugging into it resulted in a "USB Hub Power Exceeded" error message (Windows XP Pro). These were things I use when traveling, like an 8GB flash drive and a portable hard drive.

It does have a small jack on the side that is probably for a power supply, but no supply is included or mentioned in the documentation.

I will be returning this unit.
