dogtrack 345 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Have been using Belkin 7 Port USB2 hubs (2) for many years without problem. Both must be close to ten years old now. Avoid using USB3 variants at this time, as their can be backward compatability issues with some hardware. Link to post Share on other sites
dogtrack 345 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Powered yes, run from adapter giving 6v DC 4A output. Link to post Share on other sites
dogtrack 345 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hub Model :- Belkin F5U237 : Adapter Model :- Merry King MKD-064000UK.... input 230-240v AC 50HZ 200mA....output 6v DC 4A. The adapter is the size of a 1/4 brick and weighs about the same as a full size brick. Bare in mind I bought in or around 2002/3 and at that time the packages retailed at £50 each if my memory serves me well. Build quality is excellent, though I am sure today the quality will have been forfeit to keep prices down. Seems to be the norm nowadays...never mind the quality, feel the width, as they say.

dogtrack 345 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Have a look here. 2nd hand I would imagine, certainly not available from Belkin or indeed listed amongst the product range. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Belkin+F5U237+Hub&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-Address&ie=&oe=&redir_esc=&ei=o02jUOewKMKe0QWq8YHABw Link to post Share on other sites
