Question 1

How long is the included USB 3.0 cable?

Accepted Answer

Mine is the one-meter cable, about 3.4 feet, as listed on Amazon's product page, but I bought a different BrovSS USB hub model than the one you are asking about. Needed to mount a multi-port powered USB hub below my desk (these are much smaller than standard 19-inch rack mount), so my choice was the $79 "BrovSS - 10 Port Powered USB 3.0 Hub Aluminum - USB Hub Charger - Multiple Port Splitter Hub with 12V 5A 60W Power Adapter".

It is one of the few small, low-cost hubs made with bracket-mount ability, and the package included the optional mounting hardware and screws. Am pleased with the BrovSS hub, their design is quite sturdy and well-made, the brackets and screws fit precisely and were well-designed. The manufacturer, BrovSS, has a website in English and will answer email questions - or at least they did mine.

Have had it six months and it is in 24/7 use without failure. On one occasion, the four or five USB sticks I keep mounted in it seemed to have disappeared from the system and there were no LEDs lit. Powered the system down, carefully reseated the power cable and the USB data cable at the BrovSS hub (unplugged and then plugged back in), and after bringing the system back up, everything worked normally as before. I do not know if that fixed a problem, just a simple reboot might have done the same, but the important thing is the BrovSS hub did not fail and to date has not failed.

Note that USB sticks can sometimes be tricky to seat properly, so if one seems to not work, try plugging it in again, or try a different one. To prevent power glitches, I have my BrovSS hub plugged into the same UPS that powers my desktop.

If you are shopping around for these hubs, you already know to pay attention to the USB compatibility. A USB 3-compliant hub will work with either USB 2 or 3 computer port, but a USB 2 hub or USB 2 computer port won't provide the speed of USB 3.0 and subsequent.

Question 2

will charge ports do data as well?

Accepted Answer

Hi! Yes, of course.

Question 3

Has anyone tried using this with multiple webcams? How was the resolution and how many cams could you get working?

Accepted Answer

Resolution of the video depends on your camera, the quantity of cameras you can use with our hub depends on camera's power, summary it should be no more than 36W.
