Great little clip-on USB hub for 4 USB outgoing connections (1 input USB connection) with USB powered capability (you can use power adapter too if you have greater than 500mA load from attached USB devices.) This is a very thought through design and works great almost any place from edge of table to round beams to cable jungle (you can put the clip around band of cables.) The clip hold wires and keep things looking neat. The device has very convenient front/top 2 USB connections for quick USB drives/etc. insertion and removal. If you are looking for 4 port USB hub then it's hard to find a better built better designed hub of unsurpassed usefulness. I did have to use supplied power adapter to power the Belkin hub in order for it to power my portable Hitachi 7,200rpm 2.5'' drive--it would not be detected by computer otherwise.

The clip-on hub was just what we were looking for. It provides us with additional USB ports and puts them right on the top of the computer desk in easy reach. We were having trouble with our cordless mouse because the USB port was on the floor behind the computer and the hub solved that problem. The clip-on feature works great to keep the hub just where we want it.

This is a well designed and well constructed USB hub. The convenience of being able to simply clip the hub onto the side of a desk was the reason I went with this unit rather than some of the others out there, and I was not disappointed.

The hub is tiny and secures rather firmly to the edge of my desk. Does exactly what I need it to do. I'll probably be buying another one soon. I've tried lots of different brands and have come to believe that Belkin makes some of the best and most reliable connectivity gear out there.
