Just to be sure, can I connect 9 different tablets/phones to this hub, make sure that the devices are charged and run tests on them through the hub?

The first answer is a bit off, because they did not consider the step down from the power supply at 12V to the USB slots at 5V. The power supply is 5A at 12V, or 60 watts. The 9 USB slots provide .9A each at 5V, for a total of 36.5 watts. Add the 2.1A at 5V for the charging slot, and you have a total of 36.5 + 10.5 = 47 watts. This is within the capability of the power supply. So, you should be able to deliver the full rated power to all of the slots simultaneously.

All I know is this. It is non-powered hub. Works for multiple flash drives *as many as three have worked at the same time for me*, but if you try external hard drives you will run into difficulty because there is insufficient power from a single USB port to run multiple devices that need more power. t

Yes. You can have up to 4 devices paired at any time. The is also a "primary" device in case more than one is trying to connect to avoid device contention.

You can connect up to 9 devices to the unit but I think that means it will remember 9 devices you paired with it and will connect to them again automatically (connecting to the last connected device by default when you get back in the car). I haven't heard of anything being able to simutainiously pair 2 devices unless it specifically has multipoint technology. It would take some serious software to handle 2 or more phones at once.

I use it with a 1Spot. As it can drive up to 5 devices I'd check to see if a 'normal ' 9v cs n hsndle it. (Compare specs/output)

Not in my opinion. You ned a Hub with electric power, because with the energy of the laptop only can connect 1 device , if you connect 2 devices and one of them is USB 3 , the device falls . I use 2 to 4 devices (Blu ray drive, Hard disk external) and they only work with a Hub with electric power. With this Satech Hub they don't work . Is a pitty because is very beautiful, but doesn't work , I'm sorry

I have not attempted to use the hub w/o the power adapter, as I have nine USB components connected to it, including a webcam, two printers, two scanners, turntable, VCR, DVD drive, etc.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! I'm not sure I understand the question? The main power source for charging? For connecting multiple devices to your tablet? -- If you can comment back to this with information on what tablet you have and what you plan to use this hub for I can try to clarify.

Its not a hub, that is it does not allow you to connect multiple USB devices to a single USB port. Its only a charging station, allowing you to connect power to 4 devices that charge via a USB port (2x1amp, 2x2amp devices)

Dear Mr. Jesse, This is greeting from Loftek Direct. Yes, it can. But it can only support 4-5 devices at the same time. Thank you.

Hi. On a regular basis, I have 3 smartphones, 3 i-pod touch's, 2 ROKU sticks, 1 chromecast, and 3 laptops hooked up and have no problems. It has more to do with your internet speed (I have 30 Mbps). I would recommend this.

Unfortunately no, only one device at a time, and you must disconnect the active device in order to connect a different device.

In general you can charge USB devices on a powered hub with out a computer. I do it with my FitBit, cellphone and my son's 3DXL. As far as this hub is concerned, it under powered. Their 10 port has more power and USB 3.I bought the 12 found it not capable to power 6 devices at 2.5 watts and reviewed them with my experience. They responded to tell me in my needs I should use their 10 port and return the 12. I have done that and the 10 port is doing the job.

Yes, I do it all the time. There are only 3 USB ports, 1 on the left and 2 on the right. But you can plug in a 4 port hub expander if you need to.

The answer is yes; 4 different peripherals can be connected to be powered from 1 usb hub of a pc. With multi connections case; in order not to lose any data transfer speeds of the connected devices, usb hubs of the pc should either be usb2.0 high-speed type or -much better- usb3.0.

As long as your tablet has the same connector it should work with out a hitch. I have used with a hub it also work that way as well but the power drain is great with multiple items
