Really two 4-port hubs cascaded together
Jan 17 2006
By Josh Lehan
- Published on Amazon.com
Caution: This "7-port" hub is really two 4-port hubs cascaded together.
Device Manager, in Windows, reveals this product to consist of one 4-port hub that is internally attached to one of the ports of another 4-port hub. This leaves 7 free ports total. Iogear advertises this as one 7-port hub, which is slightly misleading, so beware of this. Running connections through multiple hubs, in some situations, might slightly degrade performance, just so you know.
As others have said, the flimsy rubber vertical stand is junk, don't use it. Makes a fine cat toy, though. I have no desire to stand it vertically, so the failure of this is not a problem for me.
The good news is that this hub seems to be designed with some nice aesthetics in mind. The power supply connection fit in snugly, and doesn't want to wiggle out like on other hubs I've tried in the past (hello, Belkin). The 2 front ports are slightly recessed, diagonally, so they look nice on the table. The 5 ports on the back are far enough apart that you can unplug one thing without chafing against the connector of something else and having to unplug that too, which is good. The front panel lights on the hub serve their purpose, to let you know something's connected, without being overly bright or garish.
It would make my day if Iogear would truly make a 7-port hub, instead of just internally lashing together two 4-port hubs. Making the hub a little heavier, to avoid sliding around on the desk when many weighty cables are attached, would also be a plus!

Nice but Flawed
Mar 27 2005
By Arnim Zola
- Published on Amazon.com
The style of this hub nicely compliments Mac computers and others. What is disappointing is the dark grey base. The base is not integrated with hub at all. The base, made of a rubber material, is very light. This means the 7 USB cables and accessories you have are all tugging on it in various directions. This makes the hub unstable and prone to flopping over.

Bad design

The base doesn't work. Who is Iogear trying to kid? I find it ridiculous that they sell a base that has no functional use once the cables are connected to the unit since the cables weigh more than the base itself. It is clear that the base is designed not for a functional use, but to sell the product packaging.
It is not a wonder no one ever sees a demo image of the base in use with the cables connected.
