Title: Antminer U2 dimensions Post by: LogicalUnit on April 07, 2014, 04:04:09 AM Can anyone tell me if Antminer U2 ASICs can fit next to each other in a USB hub, or if they need to leave an extra port as room for the heatsink?
Title: Re: Antminer U2 dimensions Post by: hurricandave on April 07, 2014, 09:08:20 AM You will typically need to skip a port or the heat sink will be against the electronics of the next one. If the ports are horizontal row you will need to skip one because they are to wide. Remember these will require a self powered hub and should count each one as using 500 mA each. Most A/C Adapters included with low cost hubs are only 2000 mA.

I can see why you'd want to know the dimensions (Size: 60 mm x 25 mm x 27 mm (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=505465.0)) for that reason, but then you'd also have to find out the dimensions of the hub.. not sure how many actually specify the inter-port spacing :)
