Title: 49 Port USB Hub for sale
Post by: xjack on October 08, 2014, 10:09:57 PM
1 - Cambrionix 49 Port USB 2.0 Hub -
Manual, Antec True Blue 480W PSU, 24-Pin Adapter.  MAKE OFFER in BTC inc. insured shipping.

Evidence suggests this is THE VERY FIRST 49 port hub ever used for bitcoin mining.

I first ran it June 2013 when the block erupters were coming online.  I can not find any earlier posts or pics showing these in bitcoin mining other than my own photos quoted in the pics of mining rigs thread.

Pics from when I first ran it at 48 ports. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7216.msg2764677#msg2764677

This hub is an absolute beast - far better build than the BE hubs.  I used to have one of those too - sold it and kept this one despite one bad port.  I bought this used and port 43 has been bad since I got it.  It could be fixed with a cable if you're good with a soldering iron.

PSU is a Corsair True480 Blue.  Rated 5V@38A.  

Like most dense usb hubs, Windows use not recommended - it's 24/7 perfect in Linux.  It ran great for me in xubuntu 12.04 with as many as 48 erupters on it.

Note this is for the hub and PSU only, USB miners and fans not included.  Guarantee that 48/49 ports work and not DOA.  Cannot guarantee functionality with your equipment.  

I successfully ran many types of hardware on it.

Shipping from Pennsylvania USA.  Price is somewhat firm, if we're close PM me.

PSU has NO pci-e plugs.  It has 6 or 8 molex, 1 sata, 1 4-pin.  It's for driving the 5V usb - comes from an era when 5v was the PC standard.

I'm in Pennsylvania USA and would consider shipping to Canada.  Let me see what kind of box I can fit this in and will get back with an approximate cost.
