RSHTECH Powered USB Hub 3.0, 5-Port USB 3 Dock with 4x USB3.0 Data Port + 1x Fast Charging Port Portable USB Splitter with 12V/2A 24W Power Supply (RSH-A35)

Since I work from home full-time now, I had to invest in a good setup. I've wanted extra USB ports for a while since I have to charge my new wireless Apple mouse and keyboard so it's definitely good to have some extra ports. I'm also using a second screen paid for by work.I wanted a USB Hub with switches as I also charge my phone on my desk with a wireless charging car phone holder which I've attached to my desk. So I could turn off the charger when my phone reaches 100%.When I came across this USB hub it looked like the perfect addition to my setup.I've been using it for a couple of days now and I can say that it's a really good product. I was worried it would get really hot after reading some reviews but that hasn't been the case for me.Pros:- 4 USB Data ports (great for extra monitors, USB sticks etc)- 3 Fast Charging ports (great for charging headphones, accessories, phone, tablet)- Fairly smaller than it looks on the picture which is good in my opinion, it doesn't take too much room- Switch to turn ON/OFF each port- Led light to indicate when port is ON- Separate power for the fast charging ports so it doesn't overload the circuitCons:- Led lights are located the opposite side of the switches. Which doesn't make sense to me. You can't tell if they are on or off if you have the switch side in front of you- Lights in the ports could be a bit brighter, you can barely see themI'm still very happy with this product and hope it will be as good on the long term.

Great little product . well made

A fantastic hub, just what I needed it for.The USB I/O ports on the back of my motherboard are beginning to fail and wain with age and overuse. I did not want to keep having to plug cables in and out my PC's rear ports so I bought this hub. It performs EXCEPTIONALLY well!Having owned USB 2.0 hubs and many USB 3.0 adapters in the past, I was somewhat cautious as USB 3.0 power and transfer speeds hardly ever work well if not at all without external AC power. For example, I have yet to find another USB 3.0 standalone interface device capable of upholding power and usable connection on an Xbox Series X pad. Usually the pad won't charge or will not support audio. Some supposed "USB 3.0" devices and cables even refuse to power devices like this full-stop.I am stunned to say it, but it does. And extremely well too. Even without plugging it in to the mains which baffles me. Full 3.0 USB connectivity and device powering from 4 hubs with NO external power required for £25? This hub is a no-brainer for anyone requiring power on devices that usually don't work with other hubs and adapters/accessories. The the main reason I chose a powered hub over a conventional unpowered hub is because I wanted high-speed data transfer and a stable, strong power connection as well as ease of use.However, this is the big twist and the oddball kicker... The USB power plug makes a HORRIBLE and extremely noticeable whining sound when powered on. If you have sensitive ears or are annoyed by even the faintest electronic whine or hum then it will drive you insane as it gets louder the more devices and cables you connect to it.But this is the odd thing, you only need the hub plugged into the mains if you plan to use fast-charging capability on something like a smartphone or tablet. If you just want to use this hub for data transfer, connecting devices to a 3.0 port and still draw power but don't want to use the fast-charging port and just charge up your electronics at a standard 1 Amp rate then you don't need to plug it into the wall at all!So in short, it's fantastic! The main reason why I bought this offering over others has turned out to be it's biggest hindrance and the unit itself provides a stellar user experience without having to take up a plug socket. I have put the plug back in the box and will continue to use it unpowered from now on as the fast charging feature doesn't apply to me but if you're planning to use this in a quiet space like a living room or bedroom then either use it unplugged or find a different model.I have only given this hub 4 stars as the plug issue has let down an exceptional product, but if you are after a brilliant USB hub and don't need the fast-charging power then this hub is the one to get.Highly recommended.

Just as I expected. Great purchase.

I bought one of these hubs two years ago, and recently got a second one in order to put some extra ports on the other side of my desk.Quite simply, they just work!The individual port switches are surprisingly useful: for example, no privacy shutter on a webcam? No problem, you can just switch off the port on the hub.The quick charging works very well, including with my phone which is quite fussy about what it will reliably charge from.I think literally once in two years I've had a problem with devices not connecting, which needed the hub to be completely unplugged (both from the mains and from the PC's USB port) for a few seconds.I've had other powered hubs in the past - some better-known brands among them - and none have been as reliable as these. Very happy with them!

This is a great value, compact, 7 port, powered USB hub with on/off switches for each USB port and lights to indicate when in use. The 4 data port blue lights flicker quickly when data transfer is in operation.I use the 3 fast charging ports for LED USB video lighting, they do not carry data, but are very effective for my vlogging rig.The reason for this purchase was the 12v 3A supply which I needed to supply continuous power to my vlog camera for videologging and videoconferencing.The BONUS is that I was able to stop using all my individual mobile phone plugs and plug all my USB devices requiring power and data transfer into this hub and the powered USB hub took the load off my Mac USB A ports.The extended 2 year warranty provides peace of mind and I know from experience that the support department reply very quickly.Very happy with my purchase.

The hub was really useful for about 2 years. Then it died. It now doesn't work and the power supply gets extremely hot when plugged in. If you are only looking for somethingto cover that time then you mght be lucky, it certainly worked well when it work. I'd be unlikely to buy another though, as there is too much electrical waste around already.
