USB Hub?
« 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.

That's not the exact one but it appears from this TrippLite page 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 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:
