I want to attach this to my Raspberry Pi, will the powered hub provide power to the host computer?

The Belkin SuperSpeed USB hub will not provide power to the host computer nor draw power from computer battery. It has its own separate battery adapter.

The raspberry PI cannot get enough power through it's usb ports. You will still need to power it through it's power port. Fortunately, because this hub provides 500ma per USB port, you can then plug the power cable into this hub as well (leaving 3 remaining ports for your devices) and you won't seed a separate power supply for your Raspberry PI.

I know this isn't answering you question, but I don't know. I don't even use mine anymore because it wasn't so great. I recommend getting a Belkin USB hub.

I have not attempted to use the hub w/o the power adapter, as I have nine USB components connected to it, including a webcam, two printers, two scanners, turntable, VCR, DVD drive, etc.

I can't be sure, but I would assume it would work unpowered. Every hub I've had did.

If it runs on a short cable it should run on this. I use a powered hub on the far end of mine though...

I think you would be better served with a power adapter hub... search "usb hub with power adapter" on Amazon. I wouldn't put a HD on this Sabrent USB 4port Hub 2.0, it seems to lose connections with HDs too easily.

No you do not - simply connect it to the GPIO headers on a raspberry pi. The connector on the bottom is where the unit draws power from.

It should act just as any other powered USB hub. Just make sure you have proper power supplied.

Yes, you have to connect this hub with a power adapter. The power from the usb port of your laptop will not be enough to power the hub.

This hub does not include its own power supply so the *total* current it can supply among all four of its ports is the maximum the port it is plugged into can supply. For USB 3 ports on desktop computers, that is usually 900 ma (0.9 amps); for some laptops it may be only 150 ma (0.15 amps). So no, it will not supply anything even close to four amps on any of its ports, nor will it supply more than 0.9 amps on any one port when plugged into a normal USB 3 host port on a computer even if the other three of its ports are unused.

The cable gets power from USB (from the host PC). No problem if you use only Tx, Rx and GND.

a good chance you will need a powered usb hub, but otherwise, yes it should. I've not found a laptop usb that can power it without the hub. However, the powered usb hub I have will power it, but only if the hub is not plugged in!!???!! Yeah, but expect some trial and error... good luck

Mine works with my Powered hub, but I have to unplug it when I boot or reboot as it causes the boot to hang.

Maybe they have changed this device recently but the cable on my hub is 10" long. The power is supplied by the source USB to which the hub is connected. You will only get out what you put in. As such it will not charge power hungry devices like an iPad when connected to a computer but will when connected to a wall charger.

It's a powered hub, but I don't know that it's THAT powered. I would NOT take the chance

I know they require a lot of power, I can't tell you the exact amount. I would definitely buy a powered USB hub.
