| CyberPower's High-Speed 7-Port USB Hub offers connectivity up to 480Mbps, which is 40 times greater than legacy hubs. Dual-speed compatibility means this hub works seamlessly with all your USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices. The CP-H720P weighs only 2.5 ounces and can be conveniently mounted with the included USB stand. Freely connect your USB devices such as: digital cameras, flash/thumb drives, personal printers, CD/DVD drives, mice, keyboards, scanners, iPods, or any other device that is USB compatible. Plug-and-Play technology ensures easy installation, and the device even comes with a flash-drive port that is quickly and easily accessible on the front of the hub. Monitoring your device activity has never been easier, with LEDs that indicate power status as well as activity on each individual port. This device is perfect for stand-alone PCs with inconveniently located USB ports, or for laptops where the additional USB ports are needed. The CP-H720P can be powered via your PC/laptop, or with the included AC power adapter. |

 Its a USB hub, not a Floorwax! |

I must have bought one of just about every powered, USB 2.0 hub on the shelf at Fry's and returned them, one by one, because I wasn't happy with them for one reason or another. Besides those criteria, I was looking for a hub that has both the power jack and USB upstream jack on the same surface of the housing, because I hated the ones that are small, but take up a big footprint on your desk because they have plugs sticking out of them on 3 or 4 sides.
While the CP-H720P does not meet this criteria, it uses that fact as an advantage. First, the housing can be mounted vertically in a weighted stand (provided) to minimize footprint. Then, it has USB downstream ports on both a forward and rearward facing edges, so that plugs for long term connections can attach to the back of the hub and the cables route out of the way, and plugs for temporary connections face forward for easy access. Arranged this way, the power and upstream plugs don't get in the way. But the best feature is the seventh port, on the face of the housing, which is great for frequently accessed flash drives.
On the down side, not so much. The power light is an intense blue LED that lights up my workspace when the lights are off. There are additional less-spectacular green LEDs for each of the downstream ports, but to my dismay, they are not activity indicators but power overload indicators, so they don't normally light up at all.
On the whole, I am very satisfied with this unit. It's a "keeper". |

I was having issues with my (non-powered) USB hub sucking too much energy off my laptop. This puppy solved those problems, which has me VERY happy. It was easy to set up, the plugs are arranged nicely, and I like how it's set up for both vertical and horizontal usage. It does have some glow at night, but it's nothing that bothers me at all.
Highly recommended. |

| Great product. It does just what it's supposed to do--put 7 USB sockets right on your desk for easy access. The USB sockets on each side are far enough apart so that you can actually plug in three items at the same time. It has a power supply plug which doesn't think it's the only thing plugged into your power strip, leaving room on either side for additional plugs (Are you listening, HP?). What I really like is that this unit lets me charge my iPod without turning on my computer. |
Best USB hub ever

| I recently was in the market for a new USB hub. After a lot of research I purchased this product. It is one of the best electronic devices that I have ever purchased. It has a sturdy construction and with the ability to stand up right, it saves a lot of desk space, and with the jump drive port on the front its the ultimate USB hub. I would buy it again any day. |
