Inland 4 port USB 2.0 hub - $9.99 NO REBATES

[ozone13]

Microcenter has the Inland USB 2.0 4 port hub for $9.99 with no rebates.

I bought one in store....you can either use it cable powered via one usb cable, or hook up the second usb cable for additional power. There is also a dc jack in the back for optional ac power adapter (not included).

edit: thought I should explain the dual usb thing: on one end there is a standard usb type "B" connector and the other end has TWO usb type "A" connectors. If you plug in both "A" connectors to the computer, it provides more power to the hub (helps eliminate the need for a bulky power adapter). You DON'T have to plug them both in, however, unless you are running a lot of power hungry devices off the hub.

It says "DC 5V 2.1a".

This is a very small hub, so it looks to be made for portability (hence, no included ac adapter). So far, hooking up both "A" connectors has been sufficient for me if extra power was needed.

Am I missing something? In reading the web page it sounds to me like the AC adapter is included...I don't see it listed as optional anywhere.

I got in on this deal like five or six weeks ago. It works great... only 2" w X 1" high. I attached it to the base of one of my monitors with double- sided sticky foam tape. I leave my IR port in all the time and throw my Jump Drive into it as needed. I am using just one "A" connector and no PS. I have not had any issues at all under W2K.

BTW, PS was not included.

Here is a deal for a 4 port USB hub with AC adapter.
