Today I will talk about Hub USB 2.0 with 10 Doors and External Power Supply (100~ 240V AC) (10-Port USB 2.0 Hub with External Power Source (100~ 240V AC Adapter)) available from DealExtreme. This hub is the solution to the lack of USB ports on any PC or video game, as turns a single USB port on 10 doors. You can use it as much without power, using energy only bus, as with source, adding more 2A according to the rated output of the source.
The use without source is restricted to devices that do not use (Printers, External hard drives with source, etc.) or use little (pendrive, etc.) power from the bus, as the nominal limit on the bus is 500mA USB port, and part of that will be used to feed the own HUB. In my tests, using it without power to Feed a Bluetooth dongle, a flash drive and connect a printer to a PC, probably would go beyond, but not tried. In a Playstation 3 is also possible to feed without using the power: a unique headset, a PlayStation Eye camera and still carry a mini-keyboard, probably would go beyond. With the power supply is possible to connect more equipment, because it adds 2A (the rated output is correct) to be distributed among the 10 doors. Note that this will not allow call, for example, 10 External hard drives without source, they consume values near 500mA (the maximum specification) and thus a source would be required 5A, but for most common applications, combining high performance equipment, low consumption and no it should serve you well.
The product comes in a blister pack, accompanied by the source and a USB cable, I found somewhat short, with just under 1 metro. The adapter cable is not much more than that. The hub has 9 ports on the top and 1 port on a lower side of the. On the other side there is the smaller connector of the source and the input USB cable. In each door is a blue LED that lights up when a device is connected, but only when it is actually connected with the data line, if you're just using the power from the bus the LED does not light (this applies to a dismantled pendrive, for example). The arrangement of doors looks pretty good, many manufacturers place doors horizontally one next to the other which blocks the neighboring ports when using a plumper stick or a card reader (for example), and this is not the case this Hub, that should comfortably contain any device.
The source has a model, SF-789, has input voltage as 100-240VAC 50 / 60Hz (bivolt automatic) and output 5V DC 2A. I hope that these values are honest, it is a very light source, much lighter than the source of the old USB hub 1.1 from 4 doors I used before, but we believe that the sources are getting smaller and with the same efficiency with the evolution of technology.
According to the report by botido Sisoftware Sandra the manufacturer is Terminus Technology Inc, the speed is really the USB nominal 480Mbps 2.0. Treated internally-se de um hub 7 doors with another hub 3 ports connected in cascade, what was expected, since they do not know the existence of chips 10 doors. And so I was happy to be 7+4 doors (remember that one of the 7 is used to connect other 4) em vez of 4+4+4 (with two doors of the first hub connecting the other two hubs). Here's Sandra report:

Note that this is a USB hub with 7 ports connected to the PC bus, and the first port of Hub is connected to a second Hub from the same manufacturer, with this 4 doors, and this is the internal arrangement, therefore. Each of these Hubs book seems to 100mA for its operation, so the total consumption of the Hub with nothing connected would be 200mA, 300mA prejudice as para 10 doors, 2.3A or using the source, but do not interpret these numbers as absolute truth. Note that the door 1 do Hub de 4 doors a printer is connected, it's just USB 1.0 to be a very old printer (HP Deskjet 930c). This printer is on the side door of the Hub (No. 10), so we know which inner door it matches. The Bluetooth dongle is plugged into the port number 1 do Hub, that internally is porta 5 do Hub de 7 doors. This device is USB 2.0 and is connected only at Full Speed (12 Mbps) is probably a device option as 12Mbps is more than enough to support the maximum speed of the Bluetooth protocol 2.0, which is only 3Mbps. Finally the door number 2 do Hub, that internally is porta number 6 do Hub de 7 doors, there is a connected Sandisk pendrive, is connected in High Speed (480Mbps), maximum USB speed 2.0.
And I was about to finish this review when I realized that some potential buyers probably would be interested in knowing whether the Hub really works with connected devices in 10 doors, test I had not done simply because I chose this Hub just to have enough scope for expansion, since at present a 4 doors would be enough, but as the price difference is small, why not opt for the more doors? So to make this test called: 2 pendrives, 2 dongles Bluetooth, at reader, an HD external s / source, at receiver controller XBox 360 s / wire, at Adapter for Playstation controller on the PC with a joystick connected, a modem 56Kbps, and printer. With printer exception, all other devices use power from the bus. Strangely devices continued to function even when turned off the source. Here's Sandra report:

And I'm ending here the review of Hub USB 2.0 with 10 Doors and External Power Supply (100~ 240V AC) (10-Port USB 2.0 Hub with External Power Source (100~ 240V AC Adapter)). Wait for the next reviews. If you also want to shop in DealExtreme, directly from Hong Kong, click here and good shopping.
Fabricio Ola, I am looking for a USB cable to connect the nootebook on a computer, Transfer dice,already tried this cable in Brazil and nobody has to sell, it is a USB to USB cable with a resistance in the middle, because if a cable without it can burn the USB outputs of the devices, since both are sending food…
Conhce you that the best site that all aki, You could see this cable is for me?
Thank you.
Ola Allan,
The cable you want to be that.
Exactly! Thank you. =D
The time I saw a battery charger here that had a screen showing battery power. could indicate me the favor by model?
I have two LCD:
– La Crosse Technology BC-9009
– Sony BCG-34HRMD
Seria esse La Crosse Technology BC-9009. I did a search and did not find the DX, could indicate where I bought them?
I bought the SmartHome and received in Canada. But I do not recommend this store, They sent me the request of another person, I called there to solve it and left me a long time on the phone waiting to ask exchange. Then they sent the correct product and a prepaid label to send the wrong product back, but the only such label value in the USPS, I had to pay postage which they were to repay, but they refused to do so via PayPal (they accept) or any form of viable payment to me, They wanted to send a check, it would cost me more than the face value to cash. The damage was not greater because unlike Brazil, Canada rarely charge tax on those small purchases, but would have to pay tax twice, one by the wrong product and another for the right.
Face that your blog is really cool, whenever among a look at your past purchases I saw many interesting things ta congratulations your blog.
Now I wonder if you know any reliable site to buy computer content as motherboard, processor, between memory and other products ^^ .
And my purchase on HKOFFHOUSE already to get my hands let's see what will happen if it will be taxed or not.
I know of no Hong Kong store to buy branded hardware, even saw some sites but the prices are uncompetitive. My last were bought in travel to Canada and the US and most reliable online stores, as Smartdata, Extract, Mania Virtual, etc. The only purchase I made hardware on the exterior of the site with delivery in Brazil was a Logitech G9x mouse, that comprei na http://www.shop4usb.co.uk/ from England. Came just right, worthless declared the games ShopTo and was not taxed, about Price 1/3 the national shops and 2/3 the value of the cheapest in the Free Market. How did not take tax was an excellent deal, but if it were taxed would have been pretty much the same price as the Free Market. General stores of England make up more because the Royal Mail shipping is much cheaper than the USPS or Canada Post.
U guy just to get me one more doubts than done according to product tracing was received in Brazil on 28/05 and today already is 07/06 and nothing prudo following delivery way the game was shopping at ShopTo q vc axa q I do ^^.
Since already grateful and thank you for answering my previous question.

Too early to do something, tá dentro do normal.
Eduardo, I think they're all in an atmosphere of Cup, we still had a holiday on a Thursday to disrupt, I bought in shopto tb on 22, dispacharam no dia 24-05, and just today day 07-06 It came appear in tracking postal, but 20 days after, the other time Faram only 14 days of purchase to delivery at my house. Anyway I'd better wait a little longer.
I just get my game at the post office, GRID RELOAD that costs US $ 33.39 with shipping and was shopping at HKOFFHOUSE in HONG KONG, after seeing that the product was awaiting removes fetched at the post office where the declared value of the game was $ 14.00 where it came specifying that was gitf and receiving tribute note the value of good is declared by R $ 25,00 but they do not have taxed the Valar R $ 25,00 e sim de R$ 45,64 that 60% corresponde a R$ 27,38 and this is it first purchase made and already had the good fortune to be taxed, I am now waiting for a game to get the ShopTo which by the way has not yet been sent pro destination.
Once you get I go back to comment ^^.
Your Windows is 7? E se for o 7 it is 64 bits? Because I'm thinking about buying the Hub, but someone bought ep in the comments appears to have a problem with that system.
Yes, My Windows is 7 from 64 bits.
Hello, how are you, I met your site hj and loved his idea of sharing their purchasing in China with agent, to thinking of buying one ip camera on the site dealextreme want to know how is the question of rates here in Brazil, will be that I will pay taxes? the box and great and will make volume in the package, they send without original packaging? u already bought something that did much volume in the package? what do u suggest me? abç
Hello again, another thing I forgot to ask, where I think this mini cameras that are veiled in ML? u ever seen them in a Chinese site? the camera I talking and sort this one “http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-147216301-kit-completo-camera-sem-fio-c-audio-alcance-de-ate-200mts-_JM” , Can you help me? abç
Hello, I realized you never opts for package “gift”, que vem sem o logo da DX. Is there any particular reason for that? Thank you!
Olá Andre, I do not use the option to remove the DX logo because I think it makes no difference.

ola amigos do skooter , I liked the blog , and decided to sign up , for I saw that you guys end up helping a lot of people , like me who I am today in need of help , as did a little buying on deal , so to test question , so I made the purchase on 16/07 , not give 19/07 I was a statement , and received N: do codigo , there started to crawl , and on day 28/07 ,the product appears as received in Brazil put up today 17/08 I have not received the product yet , It will be what may have happened a problem , It will be that it can take that long , if anyone can give me any tips , I will be very grateful …..
Walking,
The term is still within the normal.
Estao taxando as cameras ip compradas no dx, I bought four taxed 3 (does not help get the logo). The worst is that the tax is on near 100 U.S. dollar. It is f ***.
Skooter, very good article. I am researching the hubs and I wonder if u know it 3 these hard drives EXTERNAL ( http://www.samsung.com/br/consumer/it-products/hdd/external-hdd/HXMU050DA/M22/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail )
Would function normally (480mbps) neste HUB. And if anergy Hub supports them run the.
Thank you.
Juan,
Each of these HD should use a maximum of 500mA, except perhaps the moment they begin to turn, which in some cases exceeds 500mA. Com a fonte de 2A (if you really provide this) should work.
Skooter, congratulations on your blog.
I bought an external hd WD (My passport 1TB de 2,5″) to turn on the PS3, but the console does not recognize the HD, even formatted in FAT32.
After perquisas, it seems to me that the PS3's USB port does not provide enough power for HD, although the disks rotate and are working, only the LED activity does not light.
Does the solution would be a HUB these plugged in?
Abs. and thank you!
Marcos
Thank you Marcos,
I have already connected hard drives 2.5″ directly on the Playstation 3 and it worked. He tried the two ports? My impression is that one is stronger than the other.
The hub can solve your problem, but I do not dare turn on the source that hub and connect the PS3 because there is no protection for that source of energy to leak into the USB port of the PS3. There may be no problem with that, but I would not risk, unless you make a change to insert a diode to prevent this leakage current.
I'm currently using this hub connected to the PS3 and hub are connected 3 items: headset, câmera Playstation Eye e o receptor do EA Sports Active 2, everything running perfectly, but without the external source.
[]s
Olá Skooter, grateful pela resposta!
Really had not evaluated the risk of electrical current leak to the USB port of the PS3… maybe not worth mesmo.Tentei the two USB ports, unsuccessfully. Until I contacted the Western Digital support, who told me that the HD the fact possess some features (partition with VCD, data encryption, etc.) they have no way to ensure the operation on the island, Whereas no PC operating normally.
A pity because the HD is pretty cool… What models of the hard drives that have been recognized by the PS3? I think we'll end up having to go forward that I have… You are interested?? rsrs
Abs.
Marcos
Marcos Olá,
Maybe you can find a USB hub best quality. It's kind of complicated because it seems that there is no large and trusted brand in the market selling this type of equipment.
As for hard drives that work on PS3. When I did an upgrade on my HD, I used an external hard drive Seagate FreeAgent Go to back up and worked perfectly.
HD does not interest me at the moment, already I bought one recently.
[]s
Caro Skooter, I bought one just like the hub of your test (at least the package is identical fota) USB 2.0, however, all devices plugged in this hub, windows charges that is a low-speed port and so is, functioning as 1.0, very slow for data exchange. I've tried on more than one computer. What can it be?
Robson,
Not tell you, it is more of a computer, maybe same defect.
Skooter, I saw u commented briefly about using a source of 5A with this Hub. This would be possible? No risk of burn anything by excessive amperage? I have looked to some sources 5volts with 5A to HUB. I'm thinking of a buy one hub 10 doors ComTac (UFO model). It seemed to be a brand with a little more confidence. But it also comes with the source of 2A.
William,
I think there is no problem, but I can not say for sure if there is any component in the way that does not support a higher current, if it is required by devices. You will actually need the 5A?
