Have you had this experience? Both your iPhone and your friend’s smartphone is in need of charging, yet there is only one socket available. When both of your phones are at the verge of power-off, you both must be frustrated. In public place, this dilemma is even more common. Thus, for the convenience of charging, it is always wise to get a powered USB Hub for backup.

How to choose a good USB hub?

Before searching for the appropriate product, the first thing you should do is to acknowledge how to choose the perfect USB Hub for your needs. Generally speaking, there are several principles:

First, research the models. There are various models in market and you should choose one that fits your device.

Second, pay attention to its safety, as some products share the same brand name and specs, yet their price varies greatly. Never purchase in a product that is significantly below average price. A tragic event happened to a woman in Australia shows that a cheap USB phone charger caused a catastrophic failure that killed her.

Thirdly, buy the most current standards. Since the release of USB hub in 1996, the industry has produced many models. Although it is quite rare to find a USB 1.0 hub anywhere these days, there are still plenty of USB 2.0 hubs and now USB 3.0 has become a new trend although some old devices are not available with it. With the development of technology, more and more advanced devices will be introduced, and you will be happy if you own a USB 3.0 when you get the according device.

Fourthly, buy a powered one unless ultra-portability is critical.

Fifthly, the more ports you get, the merrier you will enjoy with friends.

Sixth, power-only ports are very convenient.
