SABRENT 16-Port Powered USB 3.0 Type-A Data Hub & Charger, 90W (HB-PU16)

One of those things you never knew you needed, but once you have one you can't imagine being without it. I now have 3...one at each desktop in the house. They eliminate the tangled jungle of USB cables, and make it possible to disconnect or reconnect any USB device simply by reaching over and pushing a button. Of course, this also allows you to connect a zillion (okay, maybe only 16) USB devices without juggling ports on your computer and/or small hubs. All ports are powered, and all are 3.0, so you don't need to match power or speed requirements of the different devices to the ports into which you plug them...just plug 'em all in and live your life. It is supplied with wall mounting hardware so you can keep it off your desktop, which I really appreciate. Overall build quality appears to be really good, and I'm not anticipating any failures. I would think that this unit will stay on the wall forever, and any new replacement computers in the future will be connected to all my peripherals with a single cable. Makes me chuckle just thinking about it.

Great hub! I have a bunch of different dongles for my many gaming peripherals. I love the switches so I can turn the ports on and off. I have a particular headset that won't reconnect to the dongle if it goes into power save mode. I was unplugging and reinserting it multiple times a day. Now I just flip the switch for that port and I'm back in business. It's a little thing, but I also love that it comes with a separate power brick instead of having a huge plug connecter on the end. Makes it way easier to plug into my surge protector. The hub is much smaller than I expected from the product pictures. That's a good thing as it doesn't take up much space. Great purchase for my needs and it can handle all my devices simultaneously since it's powered.

My current build could not exist without this device. For 16 3.0 ports, there is no beating this price when you consider the ease of organization and the reliable connection that these provide. My PC is mounted on the wall, and this hub is connected to my PC via a 30 FT USB-B to USB-C connector. The 90W power supply makes it easy to charge peripherals and also doesn't feed off the PC at all, so functionality is all there; the product is extremely stable...I've never had any issues using this. I used to have the 10 port Sabrent hub, and I had the same praises for that...but of course as time goes on, I found new gadgets to play with and needed more slots. I will say, the added weight does feel great to hold, and the material feels very nice to hold, as it's kind of a brushed metal and feels very premium.

I have some issues with composite devices like my smart watch staying connected for data (same cable and watch had no issues on older model 9 port hub from sabrent) but everything else is working fine. Not the end of the world as I have other usb ports to use on my pc.

I needed to make 400 clones of a flash drive. First I bought a $250 duplicator unit from DupliM (which was a disaster) and then I tried using this Sabrent device in conjunction with a free software applicaton (imageUSB from Passmark Software). Does EXACTLY the same job, but without the erratic behavior and random error messages, all for ONE THIRD of the price, and sixteen ports instead of just ten. This solution is just as slow as the DupliM device, but as long as you're not in a huge hurry, it's a lifesaver! Certainly way easier to set up 25 batches than to manually copy to 400 USB flash drives. I can't comment on the performance in more typical situations, since I'm only using it to make multiple flash drive clones, but it seems decent. Everything seems to work as it should. Seems well made, too.

Until now, I was using 2 usb hubs. One was a 2.0, the other was a 3.0. both were 4 port hubs. I never understood why sometimes data transfer was way faster than other times. Sometimes my phone would barely charge. The answer of course is that 2.0 hubs, ports and cables are about 10 times slower than 3.0 cables, hubs and ports. A 2.0 device will not be harmed by plugging it into a 3.0 port or hub. The device determines how much current to draw. A 3.0 cable plugged into a 3.,0 port also can carry significantly more current than 2.0. PROBLEM: My wireless keyboard and mouse connection became intermittent. I tried plugging the dongle into several different USB ports without success. I googled the problem again, (two days later) and saw a post about plugging the dongle into a port on the other side of the computer (laptop). I switched the dongle into a port on the other side of my desktop tower. SUCCESS!! Apparently, the problem is not is not in the hub, it is a USB conflict. My guess is that there are at least two USB buses in most laptops and my desktop. Switching the dongle to a different bus solved the conflict problem. If I ever realized that I was using a both a 2.0 and a 3.0 hub, I had forgotten. Now, I have one hub with plenty of ports. It is a great connivence to be able to simply turn a hub port on or off when removing or plugging in a new device. Buying this hub was a really good decision. Time will tell how well it holds up. I really like the of being able to turn individual port on and off. I have a Western Digital 4 TB drive a 2 TB drive and two 32 to 500 GB sd cards connected, in addition to 3 usb cables used primarily to recharge devices. They all work flawlessly. Time will tell the story about how long this hub lasts and customer service. I did take the time to register the hub which extended the warranty by a couple of years.

Nice product easy to use fair pricing. Easy install works well.

Didn't last an hour before it started having issues. Used a smaller port extender and had no issues, but this one has been disconnecting all my additional devices connected to it

Lo compré como reemplazo al HUB que uso en el escritorio de mi setup, para no llenar de cables la parte posterior del PC y va de lujo. Está situado bajo un soporte elevador de monitores y cabe perfectamente, pudiendo conectar y desconectar sin problemas con el huevo de 15 centímetros de altura que deja el soporte. Los botones activan y desactivan sin problemas y no hay problemas de conexión con ningún periférico, dando potencia de sobra con su adaptador de corriente. Altamente recomendado.

Fan de simu j'utile 14 ports sur les 16, sachant que la souris et le clavier sont sur le pc. Ce hub a changé ma vie, terminé les pertes d'impédance, terminé les changements d'ID par Windows qui n'arrive plus à gérer la répartition de puissance entre les joysticks, palonniers, etc... vraiment ce hub a changé ma vie, je n'ai plus de questions à me poser, plus besoin de choisir entre ma tablette graphique et mes lunettes écran, tout est branché dessus et les 90w font le taf. Vraiment très content du produit. Petit bémol : des étiquettes seraient sympa pour identifier les branchements, mais on peut le faire soit même, donc je chipote un peu.

Usage privé mais exigeant, niveau professionnel

Product works as described, but birth-pains are to be expected. Use AI to sort out problems. 1) Logitech USB dongles for mouse and keyboard did not work for me. The hub was too electrically noisy. I had to mount them on end of a one meter USB2 cable to move them away from the hub. 2) The mounting system works, but requires watchmaker skills. The backplate attaches to the hub with 0 or possibly 00 screws (ie << 1 mm diameter). The female thread is only about 1.6 mm deep and it is aluminum. Extreme care is needed to prevent cross threading &/or stripping. But, on a positive note, it does have an attachment system - very few others do. And it does work, if you can avoid wrecking the threads. 3) The Sabrent HP-PU16 hub only delivers 1.1A to each port, despite being advertised as USB3.0. That may not be enough to run some USB3 devices like external mechanical drives, unless they have their own power supply. Furthermore, the total power budget of the hub is capped at 90W spread across 16 ports, so check your power requirements before you buy. 4) The On/Off switches and indicator LEDs are quite useful for debugging USB problems. And, external USB mechanical drives can be switched off after a backup to keep them air-gapped, in case of a ransomware attack. And their lifetime may be increased by keeping them off when not needed. 5. Port numbers would be helpful. All in all, a very useful product but expect a bit of growing pains.

Excelente producto. Lo recomiendo completamente.
