Features
PC & Mac Compatible Up to 40 Times Faster* than USB 1.1 Backwards Compatible with USB 1.1
The D-Link DUB-H7 2.0 is a hi-speed USB 2.0 7-port hub that is backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1. It provides an out of the box industry standard that allows connection of up to seven USB peripherals or devices to your USB ready PC or Mac. The D-Link DUB-H7 is targeted at PC and Mac users that are expanding the number of USB ports on their system.Designed to provide quick and easy access, the D-Link DUB-H7 provides seven type "A" downstream ports for connecting USB peripherals, devices, or other USB hubs. A single type "B" upstream port connects the DUB-H7 to the host computer or another USB hub, enabling up to 127 devices to be connected by cascading multiple hubs. Configured directly by the operating system, the D-Link DUB-H7 operates seamlessly with both Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh Operating Systems.As a standard USB hub, the D-Link DUB-H7 buffers USB data from any attached peripheral in compliance with USB specifications to provide an invisible extension of the USB bus. Supporting both low speed (1.5Mbps and 12Mbps) and hi-speed (480Mbps) devices, each port creates a bridge between the peripheral and host computer.Diagnostic LEDs provide port status for each port and power status.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: OK, but some problems Comment: The D-Link DUB-H7 USB hub works well once it the cable is connected to the computer, but ONLY when you insert it after booting up the computer. I am using it on a Imac and if you connect the cable prior to booting up, the computer fails to boot. This is not a problem only with my computer, as my son-in law also has the same problem on his IMac. Also, flash drives may not be recognized if connected to the hub when you insert the cable to the computer and you may have to remove and reinsert the flash drive. External hard drives seem to be recognized with no problem. I don't know if this is a problem with a PC, but be aware that this may happen. Customer Rating: Summary: Toughness over feature Comment: Having owned 2 of these units for more than 2 years now, I am finally ready to review this. My config link two of the same hubs.
Pros:
1.) Very cool looking hub.
2.) No overheats, no matter how many devices of different types are doing transfers. I have done as much as 5 usb thumbdrives full transfers at once before.
3.) Great for devices that doesn't require high speed: scanners, security dongle keys, controllers.
4.) One very tough hub. In the past I have had hubs that occasionally act up with out of control lights etc. This one is consistently in the same mood every day.
5.) Very light.
Cons:
1.) When any usb 1.0 device is plugged into the hub, it runs everything at usb 1.0 speed. Doesn't matter the order.
2.) Even when 2 usb hubs are connected to one another, the speed of both hubs will drop as soon as something usb 1.0 is plugged in. Doesn't matter which port on which hub.
3.) Even when running at usb 2.0 speed, it cannot match regular usb 2.0 data transfer speed of you plugging a device directly into the motherboard ports.
4.) For some reason western digital Mybook storage devices really struggle with this hub. It maybe just my storage device?
Customer Rating: Summary: It works Comment: Not too much to add. I plugged it in, & it works. I'm able to plug in all my USB Devices now.
I don't have a lot of space, so the small footprint is great. Customer Rating: Summary: The best Comment: After repeated failures of other brands of USB hubs I bought one D-Link to replace a cranky one. It performed so well I replaced all the other hubs on my system with a second D-Link. After 2 months there has never been a failure. Good product, highly recommend it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Works perfectly first time, every time Comment: I should have bought this first! I got some cheap junk from an EBay seller and it didn't work. This worked first time and worked perfectly. I'm very happy with it.
