BELKIN F5U234-APL-S 4 Port USB Hub
This USB innovation from Belkin lets you connect up to four peripherals quickly and easily. Belkin's Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub provides four downstream USB ports that offer Plug-and-Play connectivity to your USB 1.1 (low- and full-speed) and USB 2.0 (high-speed) devices. This includes such peripherals as scanners, printers, mass-storage drives, and high-resolution cameras. The Hub is self-powered and allows cascading - so that up to 127 USB devices may be connected to a single port. The Hub is uniquely designed so that the four downstream ports can be positioned toward the back of the desktop for efficient cable management, or to the front of the desktop for easier port access. LEDs allow you to easily monitor master power and individual ports.

rating: 4
The shape allows you to insert USB peripherals into every slot including outsized ones like CompactFlash and SD flash readers.
The external power dongle is small enough to fit into a standard power strip without covering other plugs and still allows a full complement of high power USB peripherals.
My only complaint is that the hub is so light that it can be moved by the weight of the USB cords if not properly positioned.
Overall, a great value for the price with terrific functionality.

4 port USB hub
rating: 5
I had a need for more plugins for more USB equipment, on my MAC computor, so this Belkin F5U234-APL-S 4 really filled the bill.

It works! However,
rating: 4
If you haven't connected the hub to electricity directly and your computer is on 'sleep' or 'stand by' mode, you won't be able to recharge your iPod or any other item that can charge through a USB. But I think that's a computer issue rather than a hub issue.
Other than that, it works like a charm!

Great Little 'Smart' Hub for mixed USB
rating: 5
This is a nice, small USB 2.0 hub. If you mixing older or slower USB
stuff, like mice or joysticks, with high speed USB 2.0 devices, like my
Audigy NX sound 'card', this hub is perfect. It has a separate controller
circuit for each port (I am simplifying), to better split up the bandwidth.
This way, the slow stuff doesn't eat it up. Kind of like sticking all the
slow cars in one lane, so the fast cars can go zoom.
Looks good, works great.
