The Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Lighted Hub (Black) from Belkin is a USB hub that features (7) downstream ports. This solution's small size makes it well suited for office use or portable applications. It features a sleek black design with a lighted top that will match the aesthetics of any work environment.
The unit does not require a power supply as it receives power passively through the machine with which it is connected. Take advantage of this unit to convert any single USB port into a 7-port USB hub in your office or on the go.

I bought this for the same reason anyone else will. I wanted some more USB 2.0 ports for my macbook pro.
This does exactly what it says it will. I connect my printer, iPod, and memory card reader to it without any problems at all. The light is a bit bright, but only bothersome if you're trying to go to sleep. That's the only "con" in my opinion. This is great.

Although this unit comes with a powerpoint adapter (to plug in to the power socket on your wall) the device can supposedly also receive power passively from the unit it is attached to - in my case a laptop/notebook PC. In practice, however, I found the unit only worked when plugged into the wall.

Comments about Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Lighted Hub (Black):
IT is certainly helpful to not have to unplug and change USB devices to a limited number of USB slots on my laptop. That said, when I filled the 7 slots with USB devices, including an external monitor, my computer kept freezing, as if there was too much data for one port. I switched some things around and it works better. Do not expect that 1 USB slot can handle 7 high capacity devices through this device.

Though I was looking for something more basic (I don't need yet another blue LED light in my living room!
But this product works quite well. And it conveniently holds 7 USB devices.

Comments about Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Lighted Hub (Black):
Exactly what I was looking for. I have a large computer desk and I wanted to have a scanner farther away from my tower, with the ability to plug in usb devices without having to crawl on the floor. This works perfect, and since it has it's own external power supply, I don't have to worry about running out of voltage to power usb powered devices.
I would have like to have the USB cable provided with the device to be a little bit longer, but it is the exact length listed.
