+RonC Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Bought one this week Steve, New USB 3.0 7-Port Hub with 12V 2.5A Power Adapter and USB 3.0 Cable (USB 2.0 Compatible) £12.99 from Amazon, I also bought a 10' USB ext lead for it!

Daz Type-R Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 A quick Google search brought up this..... http://www.amazon.co.uk/7-Port-Power-Adapter-Cable-Compatible/dp/B00AXN4AXM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409845793&sr=8-1&keywords=12v+usb+hub Don't know if it is any good or not - I`m sure one of the imaging fraternity will be along shortly.

+RonC Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Works OK, I havn't seen an active USB B/A cable? It's less then 3 metres so OK I think? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 You may not need an "active usb cable" if your hub is an active hub which most self powered usb hubs are (repeaters really). They both do the same thing boost/repeat signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The hub is a powered one 12.5v so all OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belkin USB 3.0 A/B Cable 10ft Cheers Ron its ok Ron, I made an extention cable awhile back from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-New-USB-over-RJ45-cat5e-5e-cat6-cable-extension-extender-cable-adapter-/151401730698?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Cables&hash=item23403f128a and some CAT 6 cable, Works fine on the DSLR to BYEOS so no reason it shouldn't be OK with the HUB.

+RonC Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Think you will find it's a different connector, I have not seen one like it till I checked on Amazon! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenWhatley Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 yeah its a USB 3 that comes with the hub but I will just plug that into the extension cable and tape them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I tried that and it did not work?? See how you get on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Ron is 100% correct on type B connectors they have the micro usb end like this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/usb-3.0-superspeed-external-drive,2670-2.html Stevens is using "Baluns" to use Ethernet cabling - ok but does introduce noise and lowers signal BUT if they work great. Note this on interference of wireless and usb 3 http://uk.pcmag.com/opinion/13179/wireless-witch-the-truth-about-usb-30-and-wi-fi-in Edited September 5, 2014 by stash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stash Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I need 2x12v suppies to the mount, one for the mount power and one for the hub. Is it possible to get a power spitter just using the 12v conectors already fitted? Something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/180715303721?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
