Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin USB 2.0 Plus Hub (7 Port) F5U307-BRN

Customer Review: Good Product - But Make Sure You Plug It In!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is my third or fourth Belkin hub of one sort or another and it is a quality product.

I use this one as a docking station of sorts for my laptop at my home office.

The physical design is brilliant. Two features I have come to love are the top ports and the cable hook. The top ports make plugging in the random camera, portable drive, or whatever a snap.

The cable hook on the side holds the main USB line I use to connect it to my laptop and the iPhone cable always at ready. It holds two cables easilly, a third works but is a bit crowded. The 'hook' is an open, c-shaped cable channel along the right side of the hub made of a stiff but flexible plastic. Cables can snap in and out or slide through. Disconnect a cable and it stays within reach.

Now, an admission: initially I plugged this unit into a bad extension cord. The hub failed in an interesting way: everything worked *except* my iPhone. This included a WD External 320 Gb hard drive and a Samsung external DVD Burner - two power-hungry devices. The iPhone wouldn't work even if it was the *only* device on the hub.

I thought I had a defective unit (and Belkin support was no help). Only when I plugged a lamp into the same extension cord and it flickered did I realize the problem. When I plugged the hub into a working AC outlet the iPhone worked fine. Give it the juice it's designed for and this hub performs like a champ. I now have 5 - 7 devices plugged in all the time and it works great.

The hardware is five-stars, Belkin customer support knocked the review overall down to a 4-star.
