USBC-HUB7BC

I have three of these on my Mac Mini because I have a lot of usb devices. They work well and are very reliable and have plenty of power for my external devices. Not the least expensive, but the quality is there. Very easy to use.

Works just like the old Pluggable 7-port, which just quit after 11 years. About 2/3 the size of the old one.

You can plug it into an M1 iMac (or whatever) and power strip, place it flat on a desk, and keep 7 cords plugged in for various devices that need charging, from razor to iPhone to Fitbit to printer. That was my entire goal -- no HDMI, no data transfer, nothing fancy, but it took forever to find this one simple hub because most do not have enough USB-A ports.

This unit works well for your standard desktop periphirals, like mouse, camera, local printer, etc. We operate a small business out of our home and use some printers and vinyl cutters 15-20 feet away from the computer and they need extra long cords. We use 20 ft cords and when plugged directly into the computer, work well. However, when plugged into the USB hub, they are not recognized. Fortunately for us, with the USB hub, it freed up enough ports that I can plug everything in. Not as clean as using the hub for everything, but it works for us.

Plug and play with my Mac Studio to connect my core desktop devices - keyboard, trackpad, light sensor, headphone DAC, teleconference unit, and studio microphone. It’s running downstream from a thunderbolt 5 dock. The only downside is that I have my peripherals connected to the “back” of it, which is really supposed to be the front, so the power and upstream cable are connected to the front. For my used case, it would’ve been nice if all of the connectors were on one side.

This device is awesome. Delivers consistent voltage to every device. I tried a bunch of different USB hubs for my testing application and this is the only one that would stay stable with the connection to all 7 ports. I wish it had on/off switches for each device, but other than that, it's perfect. Thanks for making something that actually delivers the proper current to each port and advertising this capability. If they make a device just like this but with buttons for each device I will definitely buy another one.

This is working quite well for me. I did find I had problems with Windows putting the hub to sleep alot. You can disable this by switching to a high power profile in windows or going to Device Manager and setting your USB devices to not be put to sleep by windows. Unless you are on battery this is not something that should happen. Not sure why windows defaults to doing that for USB devices. The only CON I can think is that the USB cord it comes with is a little short.

I have a love hate relationship with these USB hubs. They are great when they want to work but then they just break on you for no reason. This is my third time buying this product because my hub just stop working. It frustrates me so much because when they are working order they are amazing but then it just stops working and I'm up shit creak without a paddle and it's so frustrating. It's really hard to recommend this to people because of how inconsistent they are. I have 5 of these at home for various Mini-PC and for my work from home setup. But it's 3am and now I have to buy another because it just stopped working. But I've bought so many other USB hubs on amazon and by far these are the best bang for your buck until they break. That's it rant over but I need to put an honest review because it's frustrating that such amazing products just stop functioning.
