Home > Consumer Reviews > Belkin FireWire 6-Port Hub (F5U526-APL)

I didn't realize the hub was not working until i went down to a second Mac store and they checked it out and discovered that when they plugged in my Duet Apogee pre amp to one of their Belkin 6 pin firewire hubs it powered the Duet with no problem. The problem I was having was the inability to power my Duet pre-amp from the hub. The Duet only worked when I plugged it into my powerbook G4 directly. I never thought to think that my Belkin hub was dysfunctional until 3 months later having taken many trips to various Apple stores. So now what do I do. Amazon sent me a Belkin hub that doesn't work.

I wanted to add a firewire disk drive but the single firewire port on my MacBook was already in use. This solved the problem. Every bit as easy as adding a USB hub.

The first hub I received turned off my computer when I plugged it in. The second one works fine.

The Belkin FIreWire 6-Port Hub is exactly what I needed to connect all other firewire items to my Mac. You would never even know that it is involved in guiding info to the Mac. Quick, smooth and easy to attach. Great product for the need.

I read good, neutral and bad reviews about this FireWire Hub. Griffin sells very good products so I bought one. This is a bad review, don't waste your money. Daisy chain your stuff and let go of you hub fixation.
