Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CyberPower High-Speed 7-Port USB Hub
Customer Review: Meh.
Summary: 2 Stars
I shopped around for a few weeks before buying this USB hub. I chose it because of how many devices it supported and how little desk space it would take up.
Unfortunately I may have gotten a bad device, because shortly after I started using it, I discovered that a few of the connections didn't work properly. This made it a 3-port hub instead of 7. The connections that *did* work gave me no trouble at all, and because of this (and my laziness), I decided not to return the device.
It stood up straight fairly well, however, but the stand it comes with doesn't attach via latch or anything semi-permanent, so it can too easily be knocked off or lost.
I found the bright blue light a bit distracting as well.
Customer Review: Excellent little hub!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally I've located a powered hub that actually supplies up to 500mA/5V per port! I've been using it for about a week now, no problems. In fact, I'm ordering another to replace a couple of 4-ports.
It's very small and compact and it has a nice design. There are a couple of things I'm not so keen on:
* The bright LED's - I wish manufacturers would start including a pushswitch to disable LED's, I hate them.
* It seems that somehow power from the PC goes through the hub and out to the adapter - weird! When the adapter is not powered the little LED indicator on it still has power so long as the PC is on. That seems a little bit strange in terms of design to me.
All in all a good product.
Customer Review: Very satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched many USB hubs and this one sounded most suitable for my needs. It has it's own power supply for such devices as the iPod. It was, of course, USB 2.0 compatible. Finally, it had a minimum number of ports that I would need.
I thought I would need a four-port hub but my CyberPower has five devices connected to it most of the time. I really like having the expandability that seven ports offer. It's true what people say about the bright blue light on the hub and my solution to that was to face it towards the wall. Now it backlights my monitor - cool.
Very happy with the CyperPower after two months. Works perfectly with all my devices on my Power Mac. This is a quality product.
Customer Review: CyberPower CPH720P USB2 Hub
Summary: 5 Stars
Received this product very fast which was excellent news. I have 4 external HDD, Wireless Mouse and Keyboards (with USB wireless sensors), my Treo HotSynch cable and Flash drive all hooked to this Hub and to my laptop. Purring perfectly without any interruption or loss of connectivity. It is great to go to explorer and find anyfile on my HDDs anytime without having to pull or insert USB connectors.
Its size is a lot asmaller than in the picture and the LEDs are not much of distraction.
I purchased three cheap USB2 Hubs in the past and all have failed to work satisfactorily. It is true that you get what you pay for. I have had this for two months and believe it is one of the best purchases that I made.
Customer Review: Love it, but I have issues that might be related.

Other than my computer not going to standby with USB connections I have had no issues with the Hub making USB connections. The only reason I mention it is that I have yet to find the reason I can't get the computer into standby. It freezes up in Standby and I can't turn it back on. The research I did suggests that there is a USB connection that could be the problem. So it could be a device I have plugged into the Hub or the Hub itself. Also my brother MFN printer seems to lose connection to the computer and reconnect. Not sure if it is related. I need to unhook everything and try standby and then plug everything back in one at a time. Issue is effort and unhooking and rerouting cables through my desk again.
