USB Hub

Alan. G4GNX
Can someone recommend one or more reliable and RF clean USB Hubs, between 6 and 8 ports, for use with the K3/FTDi serial interface, logging and rotator software, etc., I’ll mostly be using one or more serial interfaces and some USB driven power switching devices.

I’ve just resurrected an Acer Aspire 5732 Z and it only has 2 USB ports, with the outboard mouse occupying one of them!

73,

Alan. G4GNX

The hub is solid, and features an internal 22W AC PSU.  The
manufacturer does periodic production runs, so you'd have to reserve
yours and wait for the next run.

I have had all sort of gizmos plugged into this hub, and never a
problem.  The outer chassis is brushed metal and gets warm when
there're a lot of high-power devices attached.

If most or all the devices you want to run use RS-232, consider an
Edgeport USB to Serial Converter.  They are available in 2 port, 4 port,
8 port and 16 port models.  They have worked well for me. Ebay seem to
have the best prices.
