Title: USB Hub?
Post by: Dreambird on November 17, 2021, 07:49:25 PM

Does anyone have some suggestions for what would be a good USB Hub to get? I've been looking at Amazon but there are so many choices it's a bit confusing.  :no2:

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

I bought a Tripp-Lite U360-007 USB hub after my Belkin hub failed. The Tripp-Lite has been in service for several years with nary a hiccup.

Thanks Jon... sounds like just what I need!

Would that be this one?

That's not the exact one but it appears from this TrippLite page (https://www.tripplite.com/main/search?q=U360-007) that the company has modified the model since I bought it. Mine is AC powered and has 7 USB A ports and one USB A charging port. At any rate, I have not had any issues with it.

I just noticed that this Amazon page (https://www.amazon.ca/Portable-SuperSpeed-Splitter-Aluminum-Transfer/dp/B00D600M68/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Tripp-Lite%2BU360-007%2BUSB%2Bhub&qid=1637263243&sr=8-1&th=1) seems to be the exact model that I have.

OK!  :) Thanks so much for your help! I think the one on the Amazon site in your link is what I want as I do want one that is AC powered and that one has the advantage of a charging port too.  :thumbup:
