Anyone aware of a 3.0 USB hub without a power cord?

Anyone aware of a 3.0 USB hub without a power cord?

Most devices are going to require more power than an unpowered USB 3.0 hub can provide. With power they can usually provide 3 to 4 amps for the ports. Without only about 900 ma at best. You don't mention what you're going to plug in, or if you need more than 4 ports.
Below is a link to an Anker USB 3.0 bus powered hub on Amazon that might meet your needs. If power demand is low, a powered unit might be good for when needed at home. However, it might be possible to leave the power adapter at home when traveling. It's suggested that you check with Anker support on that first to ensure the bus is going to provide the needed power for your application and devices.

  • Satellite L20: Can I disconnect devices like USB Mouse without turning power off?

    Hi, all.
    I'm an owner of Satellite L20 notebook. I have always turned power of my computer off when i need to connect or disconnect any USB Device. Some devices have a special icon on the taskbar to disconnect them but some doesn't (USB FDD or flash disks). Can I disconnect and connect devices like USB Mouse or Scanner wihtout turning power off?

    Hi
    Of course that you can do this. Because of that there is Safely remove Hardware option. All external devices connected on your unit should be listed there. If you want to remove some of them click on it and click on STOP button.
    When the selected device disappears from the list you can remove it from the port. I have done this many times with different units and external devices ithout any problems.

  • Best usb hub for Apple Airport Extreme base station

    Hi all does any one know which usb hub is the best to use with the apple airport extreme the 8.11n version?
    Im aware i need a powered usb hub ideally im lookin for a 7 port hub and i think also its needs to be plug and play rather than needing a driver to be installed as this feature is not available on the router,
    I read in another forum that the (macally usb hub) would work but wondering if anyone had any experience with this as i know some do not work fo ex. the one ive just bought and some are faster than others any info anyone has on this matter wi ll be greatly appreshed thanks in advanced

    if i have a quicktime movie stored in the USB external hard drive and if i run that movie over the "connection" via the new airport extreme... would the movie by "choppy" or would it be as smooth as if the external hard-drive connected directly to computer?
    Sorry, things like this are not possible to predict in advance since there are so many variables involved. But, your chances of a smooth connection will improve using "n" wireless speeds with the computer close to the wireless router.
    I would not recommend trying to store images on a drive that is accessed only by wireless.  My strong preference for any kind of video or image file storage is to have the drive hard wired to the computer and/or router.

  • Charging iPod via USB hub???

    Hi Folks,
    Does anyone know, if it's possible to charge the iPod battery by using only an USB hub (with external power), while computer is turned off?
    I tried, but with my hub it didn't work. Has anyone experienced the same?
    Thanks

    The hub does not send power out until the computer tell it to.

  • USB hub as a charger

    Hello Apple Support Communities
    I am an iOS developer, and I constantly find myself messing around with iPod-wires. Connecting iPhones and iPads to computers and chargers. It's constant mess.
    Now I have decided to do something about it. I was wondering, if there is an USB hub out there, that is able to charge the devices, even when it is not connected to the computer. Eg. when I unplug the computer it acts as a charger and when i replug my computer it acts as a hub.
    I am unaware of any powered USB hubs will still power even though the computer is disconnected.
    Anyone knows of a hub of this kind?
    I found this, but I cannot find a european dealer. I suspect it's not certified for the european marked:

    I appreciate any suggestions.

    I don't think so, but charging the Zen via USB is a little complicated. The newer .0 firmware (which has been removed) had a special lock charging option which might work, but you'll need to wait for a revised firmware to check.

  • USB-Hub not working on LEFT USB port?

    Hello,
    I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Early 2013) and it's running fine. Boot Camp version: 5.0.5033.
    But I have one problem: I bought an external monitor (Dell U2414H) which has an built-in 4-Port USB 3.0 hub. So I connect the Dell monitor using a DisplayPort 1.2a cable and an USB 3.0 cable. But Windows only recognizes the monitor's built-in USB hub when I plug the USB cable into the right USB port (when I sit in front of the MacBook). Then it works without problems. But when I plug the USB cable into the left USB port of the MacBook Windows only says "USB device not recognized". But other devices like USB sticks and USB drives also work without problems on left and right USB port of the MacBook. Also when I boot in OS 10.9 Mavericks the monitor's USB hub is working on both USB ports of the MacBook. So I think it isn't a hardware failure. I also re-installed Windows, but I have still the same problem.
    Do you have any idea, why only the monitor's built-in USB hub is not working in Windows on the left port of the MBP or even how I could fix it?
    Is Boot Camp 5.0.5033 the most current version? I checked the box to download the latest Windows support software and also didn't find anything newer than 5.0.5033 to download, but sometimes I read about 5.1.1 - but where could I download it? AND: Doest it help?
    Thanks in advance!

    I think I've hit a variation on the problem you're enoucntering.  I have a late-2013 13-inch Macbook Pro Retina.  I've just installed Boot Camp and a copy of Windows 7 Pro.  This is my first experience with Boot Camp and Windows on a Mac, so I'm in foreign teritory.
    The install all went fine and Windows 7 booted up fine and so far, all hardware seems to be working as expected, with one exception.  Things went sideways when I tried use it in "clamshell" mode - lid closed with external monitors and all my peripherals attached to a USB hub.  I set up Boot Camp to boot into Windows and attempted to boot.  It would give me the usual boot-up fanfair and a then a gray screen for a few seconds, and then it would reboot.  It just rebooted over and over.   I eventually discovered the issue was the USB hub - without the hub connected , it would boot just fine.  Once it was booted into Windows, I could attach the the hub and everything would be recognized normally.  Furthermore, I could put the system in sleep mode, wake it up and everything would be working fine.  But it simply refuses to boot the USB hub attached.  I've stumbled on a couple related threads - see https://discussions.apple.com/message/23802231#23802231.  The suggestion is that only certain hubs to not work.  I've got two different high quality powered hubs and both display the same behaviour.  The other point is, that when booting into OS X with the same hub, it works perfectly.  So it's a strange problem.
    Note that after reading your post, I did try the hub in both right and left USB ports and that made no difference in my case.  I do have one more hub to try (built into my Dell monitor).  I'll report back if that happens to work.

  • Multiple printers by Airport Extreme & USB hub

    Is it possible to connect two printers to the one Airport Extreme with a USB hub (not the power-over-ethernet version)? I want to use a Canon iP5200 and a Dymo Label Writer 310, without repeatedly exchanging USB cables or switching on both computers at the same time.

  • USB Hub for Mac book air

    I recently got a mac book air. And the problem i have is with the USB port. Since there is only one USB port i tried using a 4-port USB hub. Which is working fine on any other Microsoft laptop. ut wen i tried to use it with my mac air it doesnt seem to be working. The funny thing is my mouse is working fine if i connect it through this hub. but my external hard drives are not registering through the hub, but they work if i direct plug it into the port of the mac air. Please help. As i really need the hub for my mac air.

    I have two USB hubs without a separate power supply. One is older (USB 1.1) and will drive an external hard drive, the newer hub (2.0) is more compact and will not support an external hard disk drive. I cannot find any listing of the power properties of the hubs themselves, or other hubs for sale, and so do not know which might work better. I suspect a non-powered hub is not ideal for an external hard disk drive.
    My solution is to buy a small bluetooth mouse and forget about using a USB hub for a mouse and instead use the port mostly for a USB flash drive.

  • USB-hub stopped working after upgrading

    I have a macbook pro 13 inch, year 2011.
    On my desk, I attach it to a thunderbolt display. To those USB-ports, I attached the belkin desktop USB hub (model F4U017) with 7 USB ports.
    All worked fine and without a glitch untill I upgraded to OSX Moutain Lion.
    Suddenly it won't connect annything I plug into it.
    All the cables of the hubb still work fine, those have been tested.
    When I tested the hub with a very old iMac (i think still with leopard it), it worked again.
    To be sure, I also tested a 4-port hub without external power supply on moutain lion. That one still works fine.
    How come my 7-port hub won't work any longer? How can I make it work?

    Not sure.  Might be an issue with the USB drivers in mountain lion.
    I've had an issue with a couple hubs not working after plugging back into my macbook pro while it's on.
    Fixed by restarting my computer, but that's super annoying and takes me back to my Win 95 days.  Never saw this issue before I upgraded to mountain lion.

  • External USB Hub limit for Satellite Pro C650

    Is there a limit to how many external usb ports you can connect through the Satellite Pro C650?
    Wtih the four port hub I have, the ports seem to work individually and all devices work normally when plugged directly into the lap top, but when all devices are plugged into the hub and lap top combined, there are errors coming up.
    Thanks,
    Karyn

    Well, I think this should not be a problem if the single USB hubs provide own power.
    The point is that the single USB port provides common 500mA and if more devices would share the power from one USB port then it could be possible that the available 500mA would not be enough for all USB devices.

  • Multiple Screens via USB hub

    Dear everyone,
    We are a 4 Danish musicians who bought 4 Lenovo LT 1421 monitors, as we have read that
    you can connect up to 6 monitors to a PC via a USB hub. Our aim is to mirror the pc’s
     screen on the extra 4 monitors. Unfortunately we cannot get this to work. We've approached Microsoft, HP and Lenovo in Denmark, and no one can offer an explanation or solution.  Lenovo in Denmark was not even aware that there was such
    a thing as USB screens, and we were told that it was our  own problem, which I suppose is right, but it does not solve our problem.
    We have tested this on Windows 7, and 8 – and those 2 operating systems will only accept 1 extra monitor with mirror function, and the
    ability to select mirror display for further displays is not possible. 
    If we connect the monitors to an older PC with Windows XP, we can get mirror mode on all 4 monitors; but then we have the problem that it is not 1366 x768 resolution.
    We now have 4 useless screens that work only with an older operating system; but do not work with any of the newer OS (i.e. WINDOW 7 AND 8). 
    We tested further with a Lenovo 15.6 "PC AMD E1-2100; but it cannot cope with mirror function on more than one display. What can we do - we are very frustrated.
    The product would work nicely for us who want to be free of vulnerable VGA cables and
     power supplies for each monitor; but we need it to work properly.
    Would anyone be able to offer a solution to this problem? Is there a way of showing mirror display on more than one screen with n Window 7 or
    8.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks and best regards
    Kat DK

    Hi,
    According to the following link in Lenove website, this kind of monitor is supported in Windows 7&8
    http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/PD015702
    I suggest you download and install the latest driver for the this monitor from this link to ensure the performance

    Have you tried to use a USB Graphic Adapter to connect the PC and external monitors together?
    I noticed that you mentioned HP, so maybe this product can help you
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/oas/product-detail.html?oid=3913303#!tab%3Dfeatures
    But you still need to conect HP to check the compatibility of this product.

  • USB Hub / External Card Reader recommendations?

    Afternoon,
    I have recently purchased a late 2012 27" iMac and would like to add some peripherals.
    I am looking for a USB 3.0 hub and a multi card reader.
    I have seen lots of posts about USB hubs (the joys of a google search) that either arent recognised as 3.0 or are on American sites. (Am based in the UK).
    I know there is a card reader on the back of the iMac, but only for SD and I would prefer to not have to keep turning the monitor round to reach it.  (I still have xD cards that I use). 
    Without being too picky, I dont want 'ugly' units. Dont want to make a beautiful machine look ugly when surrounded by lots of horrible looking external add-ons.
    Does anyone have any recomendations of hubs / readers, or even ones to steer clear of?
    Thanks very much.
    Karen

    Thanks for trying but ...
    No, I can't see the drive when booted up with Cmd R.
    I don't have a USB hub to test on.
    I'm just tried resetting the PRAM as you suggested.
    No change.
    Any other ideas gratefully accepted, otherwise, I can book into the genius bar thingy - no idea if that will be of use.  I work in IT so I'm fairly handy though there are many mac specific commands & tricks I'm not aware of.

  • USB hub does not work with iTunes

    I have been trying to add USB ports to may Mac's and am not able to synch through the hub. They are hi speed 2.0 USB hubs by Rocketfish and Belkin. iTunes locks up until I remove them from the USB cable (spinning color wheel) and then iTunes goes back to normal. I have tried with both my 24" Intel iMac (Metal one) and a new 15" Macbook Pro. When I use the USB port on the Mac iTunes works great. There seem to be a ton of USB problems posted and zero answers on how to correct. I have tried with an Color iPOD, iPhone and an iTouch to no avail. Having a couple of USB ports won't work in my situation. Anyone know if Apple has posted a workaround or a real fix anywhere.

    Thanks, I missed where I posted But I tried with my HP - Same issue. I think others have had this. I believe that iTunes is hit or miss on Hubs. I wish I could figure out what makes them a hit - instead of a miss.
