Amazon.com Product Description
The D-Link DUB-H4 2.0 is a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-port hub with backward compatibility to USB 1.0 and 1.1. It provides an out-of-the-box industry standard that allows connection of up to four USB peripherals or devices to your USB-ready PC or Mac. The D-Link DUB-H4 2.0 is designed to provide quick and easy access to the four type A downstream ports for connecting USB peripherals, devices, or other USB hubs. A single type B upstream port connects the DUB-H4 to the host computer, or another USB hub enabling up to 127 devices to be connected by cascading multiple hubs. As a standard USB hub, the D-Link DUB-H4 buffers USB data from any attached peripheral in compliance with USB specifications to provide an invisible extension of the USB bus. Supporting both low-speed (1.5 Mbps and 12 Mbps) and high-speed (480 Mbps) devices, each port creates a bridge between the peripheral and host computer. Diagnostic LEDs located on the top of the device provide power state (self-power) and port status on each port. The DUB-H4 2.0 is packaged with all necessary documentation, a six-foot Hi-Speed USB 2.0 AB cable, and an AC power supply to ensure that the user is able to easily and quickly install and use the device. The D-Link DUB-H4 comes with a one-year warranty.

 Great USB Hub; Works without A/C Power for Me March 23, 2005
John Nolley II (Fairfax, VA United States)

I originally purchased this hub to make it easier to use multiple USB devices with my laptop while using it at my desk at home. My printer, mouse, barcode scanner, and thumb drive are all USB devices, and pulling the laptop out to unplug one and attach another was getting rather old.
It's a smallish hub, but not one so tiny that the ports are so crammed together so as to be nearly useless. At 4 inches wide and less than an inch tall, the hub should easily fit on any desk, and the rubber feet help hold it in place. The ports are widely enough spaced that you shouldn't have a problem attaching cords, thumb drives, or other USB devices.
Since I planned to use it only at my desk anyway, the caveat that an A/C adapter is required didn't bother me--but I've found that the hub works fine without any A/C power at all, and despite the instructions claiming it doesn't draw power from the USB bus, the power LED lights up, and all devices work fine. Without the A/C adapter in use, the hub also runs quite cool and doesn't suffer from the lock-up problems others have mentioned.
If you plan on using mostly powered USB devices--like printers, external hard drives or CD/DVD drives--you should be fine using the hub "unpowered." Using it for a keyboard, mouse, barcode reader, and thumb drive may require the use of the A/C power for reliable operation. And if you're worried about putting too much of a power strain on your laptop's USB bus, connect it via a docking station (as I do) or use the A/C adapter. Still, with that said, many people should be able to use it just fine without having to add another bulky "leech" to their power strips.
Finally, the manual does state that the use of both USB 1 and 2 devices at the same time may cause the hub to drop into USB 1-only mode. I stress "may," as so far the tests I've run with older devices in combination with a USB 2.0 CD burner have worked fine at USB 2 speeds--I assume then the compatibility depends largely on the actual devices used.

Plugged it in, plugged in peripherals, it works. One of the easier hardware installations I've done for my home PC. There was one feature that was particularly interesting: the AC adapter is designed so it sticks out to the left or right of a surge protector, rather than up or down and taking up two plugs worth of space like many AC adapters. Not a big deal, but a nice little detail.
THIS IS WHAT EASY IS SUPPOSED TO BE! November 2, 2005

I picked up this baby a few months ago because the unit I had made by another manufacturer was malfunctioning. Sometimes for no reason I would lose my ability to print or my mouse would stop functioning and I would have to pull the cable and reconnect it to restore functionality. I decided to dump that dog and I invested in this unit and am totally happy. You simply take it out of the box, hook up the wiring, power it up and presto your in business. One nice feature is that the LEDs are large and bright so you can see them in even in direct sunlight. You can get cheaper ports but I think this one is a quality product. Thank goodness some things in life are simple!
Just what I needed February 20, 2006

I was looking for a hub that I could put at the back of my desk for quick hook-ups. I wanted the wire coming from the computer (under my desk) to come out the back of my desk and connect simply from behind (as well as the power) to leave only what I wanted to connect to be seen. This unit does just that. I didn't like that it was so light because the cord would pull the unit up. A bit of velcro to the desk and unit fixed the problem. Good value & it works!
Plug No Problem December 18, 2006

Earlier reviews I read on this product caused me to cancel my original order but I relented and placed the order once again. I was concerned at the mention of the power plug taking up three spaces on a power outlet.
The item I received today (December 2006) may have been redesigned because it takes no more space than the plug of a radio or table lamp on a power strip or wall socket. The plug extends upward about 2 inches and is about another 2 inches wide but this is a GREAT improvement over my other plug-in power sources which command two or three sockets!
I rate the entire hub at 5-stars. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and was no effort to install. I may buy another as a spare because the price is so good!
