demonjester Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I decided to buy the hak5 usb powered hub (alot cheaper than my alternatives and perfect amount of usb ports) anyways, withouth asking before I bought it, will a battery pack with a 5v 2A be sufficient enough to power the usb hub? ALSO I saw it in a thread (forgot to save it) about splicing a certain wire in the hak5 usb hub to prevent powerback? (or power feedback?) does anyone have the picture? I have been searching and it is giving me threads just mentioning usb mass storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headros Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I am powering a memory stick, wifi adapter, and 3G modem from a hub powered on a 5v 2.1A battery supply. Pending on what your hooking into the hub, you should be alight. Regarding your second question, if the hub is already a powered via external 5v source, you shouldnt need to splice anything. The case in which this needs to be done is if you can converting a non-powered hub to a powered hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
