Powered USB Hub Long Cord, atolla USB 3.0 Hub 4 + 1 Data Transfer and Charging Multiport with Power Supply Adapter 15W (5V/3A) and 3.3ft Meter USB 3 Extension Cable

i bought this device specifically to resolve a problem I had with a new macbook air M4 not recognizing a Dell cd/dvd player which I tried to connect via a thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) port on the macbook. I conjectured that the player needed more power than it was receiving from the macbook port and that an external powered USB hub would solve the problem. The Atolla hub works beautifully. It has 4 USB-A ports allowing me to directly connect the CD player which also has a USB-A male cable to one of the ports. The hub has its own cable with a male USB-A connector which allowed me to connect it to the thunderbolt USB-C port on the macbook via a USB-C to A plug converter.The macbook immediately recognized the hub. When I plugged the CD player into the hub, the macbook immediately recognized it and I was able to use it without any problems.

It really works 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 very easy set up. I use it every day.

Bought this for a coworker who needed USB connections closer to his keyboard. He likes it and the blue lights. I honestly feel the lights are a bit too bright and I'm not a fan of piano black. But the price was right, it works, and being powered it allowed him to connect directly to charge his phone as opposed to using a power brick.

A little early, but works well so far. Powers all my USB lights; the off button is genius, allows dimmer settings to be saved. Short power cable only issue; the extra USB extension albeit short is nice and worth price.

The Atolla hub does everything I hoped. It provides multiple USB connections that are switchable (really wanted this for my webcam) as well as dedicated charging port that I will use for phone charging. It fits well with the rest of my desktop.In addition to functionality, the hub looks good!Two complaints: 1) adapter cord is very short, and 2) USB-to-PC cable is hardwired in, so if you need a longer cable, it means using an extension rather than replacing with your choice of cable.Despite these two issues, the Atolla still merits 5 star.

I got this hub for several reasons: It being self powered, the individual switches and the longer cord lengths. I have a bluetooth connect to Android phone Windows program that often gets "touchy" about the USB dongle. It often has to be plugged in and out again to get it connected. If you use a computer tower, like this Dell Studio XPS with its USB ports on top and in back, that means a lot of reaching from your desk. Not anymore. Great to have the ports right in front of me at all times. The switches save me that USB dongle plugging and unplugging. Also powers and runs my USB clock fine. It seems well made. And, as stated, saves me a lot of reaching on this computer tower to get to the USB ports.

I use this for transferring files from my camera card to my computer as well as charging my watch. last week, just after thanksgiving 2023 it stopped transferring files. It still charges, however when I plug my card reader into it, lights flash. I tried two different card readers, same result. I plug the card readers directly into the computer usb port and they work. I checked the power and all is good.I went to the mfg support page and filled out a support ticket. We will see how it goes.I am outside of the Amazon return window, however this is the second of these units I have used. The first one had an infantile failure and went back immediately. This one took a little longer.

Works well
