Dick Montage Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Everything but everything these days uses USB to charge. It's ubiquitous. I have a cupboard that I want to turn into a charging area. Part of that being USB charging like 8 devices at once. I am looking for some sort of hub that does this - outputs a decent rated power per USB connector, and is solely focused on that. Does such a device exist, or should I just use a bog standard USB hub? Nick H. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 So basically just a standard powered USB hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Ah Haggis, nice - that looks potentially more like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 yea you need to make sure that it has enough power to support using every USB port concurrently. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted February 10, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted February 10, 2014 You really want this thing to be released: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/853175871/octofire-8-port-168-amps-84w-turbo-smart-usb-charg It actually delivers 2.1A for each USB port, even when everything is connected. Most USB chargers will drop down to 1A (or less) per USB port when you're using them all at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
