Title: 500 mA+ Per USB Port
Post by: LilGhost on September 17, 2013, 09:18:31 PM
Hi, I was wondering if there are any low cost USB hubs that transmit at least 500 mA's to each USB port.
Here are two equations it needs to meet:
TotalPrice/NumberOfPorts <= 5
TotalAmpsOfPower/NumberOfPorts >= .5

Basically this is saying the price per port should be under $5.00 and the total amps of power for each port should be 500 mA. I would also prefer if ALL port were data-transfer ready not 9 transfer ports and 1 power port.

I know this is very picky, but thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

The prices I list there are from the time hubs were added to the list. I don't have time to keep track of all hubs, but if I stumble across anything that needs fixing, I fix it.

If you found any info that needs to be updated, please post a reply on that thread with relevant new information and I'll update the OP.
