      Correction:
      The power adapter provides 5V/2A instead of 5V/4.8A.
      That's enough to recharge 1 tablet or 2 iPhones without connecting to PC.
      The 4.8A output is calculated by connecting both power adapter and to a USB 3.0 port.
      With 1.8A (conversion loss from 2A) from adapter and about 3A from computer.
      The device itself use external power supply as a backup power source.
      We are correcting the listing details now.
      My apologize for the confusion and any inconvenience.

          Computer USB hub is mainly for data transfer between devices and computer.
          They are not built for recharging purpose.
          As this product has high power output, it can recharge few units at the same time.
          It's a bonus feature :)

  • downforce on 11/07/2017 - 12:44

    Has anyone used this and does it actually work?

    I've used a TP Link one and a mBeat one and they are all super flakey.
    The TPLink has a shitty plug that frequently disconnects the power/data. I got it 2nd hand from OCAU and suspect I was ripped off here though.
    The mBeat one refuses to let my PC start/sleep if the power plug is also attached and 1/2 the time doesn't detect devices.

      TP-Link UH700 is a hybrid model.
      1.5A recharge outputs are OK for iPhone or other phones with 1A input.
      Once you plug an iPad or other tablet that requires 2A input, it will constantly disconnect power.
      Not very stable.
      mBeat MB-HUB716 is about the same but even weaker.
      Overall power supply is 15W.
      Once you use the 2.1A port, not much left for other 6 ports :\

        I don't use it for charging, only data, but it would frequently disconnect the devices plugged in, not detect them at all, USB throughput was <USB2 speeds and/or build quality was just rubbish.

        I have Tronsmart 5-port QC2 chargers for charging :D

      Orico and Unitek are actually the 2 largest manufacturers in the world for these kind of products.
      Lots of other brands are using their production lines/factories.
      But as always, they save the best quality and/or pricing for themselves :)

    I had an Ahnker 8 port USB hub which went flaky and died … one thing that I liked was the last port was a charge only always on port (didn't pass through to the PC at all). So that even when the PC was off a device (in my case a tablet) would alway be powered up. Does this do this? I'm looking for something with the same feature - but given the Ahnker died relatively quickly I'm not buying another from them.

  • LeftHandSeat on 11/07/2017 - 16:28

    Can you confirm the power specs for this? Everywhere else I see this model listed, including on Unitek website, its listed as having a 5V2A Power Adaptor.

    • Store Repmushtato @ Mushtato on 11/07/2017 - 16:37

      The power adapter has
      Input power: 240V/0.1A
      Output power: 12V/2A
      The device has
      Input power: 12V/2A
      Output power: 5V/4.8A
      The maximum output of each USB (7 all together) socket is 5V/2A.
      Overall no more than 4.8A.
      You might confused the USB power supplier with the power adapter specifications :)

      • LeftHandSeat on 11/07/2017 - 16:56

        Righto, so should be fine with 7 x USB2 devices drawing a full 500mA each, 3.5A. Sweet.

      • Russ on 11/07/2017 - 17:18

        There's at least one lie in those specs. You have listed:

        • 24W power from mains (240V @ 0.1A)
        • 24W out of power supply at 12V
        • 24W out of hub at 5V

        That's not possible. For your figures to be correct, both conversions would have to be 100% efficient. Switchmode step-down supplies of this type achieve 70-80% efficiency, so assuming the 12V/2A rating is the correct one, at most you'll get 5V @ 3.84A from the hub.

        • Store Repmushtato @ Mushtato on 11/07/2017 - 17:53

          Good point!
          First of all, 240V is AC at 50~60Hz.
          So that part should be correct.
          12V is DC.
          However, unlike simple circuit designs, for USB hub, it's not necessary to convert the voltage.
          A series circuit can resolve the problem.
          Though these kind of designs will constantly consume power.
          That's probably why some comments above suggests their USB hubs cause computer cannot be shut down.
          We don't know exactly how the internal circuit is designed.
          From what most other electronic devices stated in their specifications.
          These should be a common way to state.
          Not saying it's right or wrong, but that's the way manufacturers do :\

          @mushtato:

          A series circuit can resolve the problem.

          You really don't know what you're talking about. A series regulator will give you even less output power, you would only get 5V @ 2A from a series regulator (in fact you would get slightly less). And you would get a LOT of heat, 14W of the 24W input would be coming out as heat.

          The Unitek webpage says this ships with a 5V 2A adaptor, are you replacing that with a 12V adaptor in the hope that it will increase the output power? If you are, you'll fry almost everything that gets plugged in.

    Received mine today - postage was relatively quick. My first thought is that the USB cable is a bit too short so I will need to replace that.

      Do you mind measuring how long it is and tell us? Thanks.

      • Elijha on 23/07/2017 - 18:11

        yeah. probably could have mentioned that - 1m. Not long enough to have this on my desk and feed down the back of the desk and back up to the topish part of my PC tower where my USB 3 are. 1.5m might be long enough but I'm getting a 2m to be comfortable.Considering its purpose I would have hoped/expected 1.5 to be n the box.

        I don't know much about the above Amp arguments .. but I tried it as a standalone charger (no PC connection) and it works. I also tried it plugged into a PC that was powered down and it still passes charge out to connected devices. So what I needed (devices might now charge at full rate but they will most often just need to charge overnight with the PC asleep).

        On it's own could not keep my old Nexus10 powered (only connected device) .. its battery is stuffed and last only 30min so I need it plugged in all the time tried playing a game on it (fast discharge) and less then an hour it was flat. I don't need this for that purpose - but this my best test as that device is finicky about both the cable and charger to charge at full rate - really wants a full 2 Amps.
