Review: First Class Quality and Attention to Detail! - This is a very impressive little device! - The piece is very well built and obviously using high quality USB ports and other first rate materials. This USB hub also provides some nice unique touches you won't find on other brands like a numbered port display spanning 1-7 with blue LEDs sitting under each character that backlight each port's number when an active device is plugged into that position. Everything is housed in a solid, glossy white, hard plastic chassis comprising the smallest footprint of any active/charge capable 7 port USB hub I have ever seen. Much smaller than I was expecting from the product photo. The device is powered by an external AC supply (wall wart) that attaches to the hub via your typical two pole female connector. The power connector itself is located on the top end of the chassis next to the USB input/output cable that connects the hub to your computer. And Yes... as some of the whinier more anal reviewers have made abundantly clear to everyone, the AC adapter is one of the large ones and if you happen to own one of those odd power strips with the AC plugs aligned parallel to the row of female AC receptacles, then yes, this adapter is going to cover up several of the empty AC receptacles below where you plug this power supply in. My suggestion to those who consider this to be a deal busting design flaw... How about buying a better power strip? One that is designed to work with a collection of AC power supplies? They even make some strips that have swiveling receptacles to allow you to configure your power strip to suit what you are plugging into it! Amazing what technology can do eh? Problem solved and disaster averted! For whatever reason, Anker has chosen to use that specific AC power supply, so I assume there must be a very good reason for its addition to the package. So far I have been very pleased with the performance of the hub and have even done some hard drive backups through it using one of my Touro S Mini USB 3.0 hard drives just to see how the hub handled read and write to and from a 3.0 spec.hard drive. It performed just as fast as the dedicated USB 3.0 ports on my Macbook Pro do, so no complaints there. All in all, I am very pleased with this sleek little USB hub and have been very pleased to confirm that we are most definitely getting the quality and performance we are paying for here. If you are looking for a sleek, small and well built USB 3.0 hub with some nice added display features, I think you have just found what you have been looking for! And as others have said, Anker appears to be an up and coming small component manufacturing company who is specializing in first class quality devices for just a little more $$ than your typical Chinese stuff everyone else is offering these days. Review: A great product with an equally great company standing behind it. - After the original review, I was contacted that evening by phone and the following morning by e-mail by a concerned CSR. Anker was with no other questions than seeing the issue mentioned in my review was ready to replace a possibly defective hub. The commitment they've shown and the fact that they believe in their product as much as they do is pretty amazing. I do own several Anker products and this was the first (and after this experience, I'm fairly sure only time) I'd been disappointed by what I'd received and they worked to fix that much more readily and timely than any other company I've dealt with on desertcart. The replacement I got works flawlessly and I tested every port with each one of my cables to make sure it functioned as expected. The hub is plastic but very sturdy and does not feel cheaply made at all. I had 3 external USB 3 drives plugged into it, along with my phone charger, mouse and mechanical keyboard and everything continued to work which is more than can be said for some of the more cheaply made USB hubs. Other answers on questions for the hub state 4 and 5 1.5tb+ drives operating well and I have confidence it would support them easily. I am using the hub mainly on a macbook pro running Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks and I've had no issues with data transfer, speed, or connectivity after receiving the replacement hub. I've also tested it on my gaming desktop running windows 7 and a small archlinux box, works flawlessly in every set up I've tried so far. The only thing I've been unable to test is longevity, but, given experience with other Anker products, I'm confident I won't be able to report back on that for a long time to come. Original Review - Updated per above! I actually really like the Anker hub I got, but, one of the ports is semi-flaky and doesn't seem to always make a good connection with several of my USB cables. It only seems to make a solid connection if I don't push the USB connector all the way in. That aside, It's one of the only powered hubs I've seen that doesn't appear to flake out when you plug more than one hard drive into it and it serves my needs well. It would be perfect if not for that one port that kinda flakes out and makes me have sad feelings. ## Features - Compact palm-sized grip (4.3 × 1.7 × 0.9in) and lightweight design (2.9oz). - Easily add 7 USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ports to your PC and enjoy data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps for faster sync times. Backward compatible with USB 2.0 / 1.1. - 7th data port also delivers BC 1.2 charging speeds of up to 2.1 amps , while the other 6 ports charge at speeds of up to 0.5A each, with 5.1 amps overall among 7 ports. - High-grade chipset and 36 watt adapter guarantee steady operation. Supports plug-and-play and hot-swapping. No installation of drivers required for Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 or Mac OS X 10.2 and above. - Package contents: Anker USB 3.0 7-Port Hub, 12V / 3A power adapter, 2.6-foot USB 3.0 cable, welcome guide, 18-month hassle-free warranty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B014ZQ07NE | | Additional Features | Play, Plug | | Best Sellers Rank | #481 in USB Hubs | | Brand | Anker | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Smartphones, USB Flash Drives, Tablets, Desktops | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,483 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 gigabits_per_second | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4.3"L x 1.7"W x 0.9"H | | Item Weight | 11.36 ounces | | Manufacturer | Anker | | Mfr Part Number | AK-68ANHUB-BV7A-0004 | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar | | Model Number | AK-68ANHUB-BV7A-0004 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Ports | 7 | | Operating System | Mac | | Special Feature | Play, Plug | | Total USB Ports | 7 | | Total Usb Ports | 7 | | UPC | 848061071467 848061077643 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 18-month warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Anker - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Smartphones, USB Flash Drives, Tablets, Desktops - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Special Feature:** Play, Plug ## Images ![Powered USB Hub for Laptop, 7 Ports USB 3.0 Data Hub, with 36W Power Adapter and BC 1.2 Charging Port for iPhone 7/6s Plus, iPad Air 2, Galaxy S Series, Note Series, Mac, PC, USB-Flash Drives - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61S87Zg1qHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this hub able to work at all without the power supply? If i only need to use 1 or 2 of the ports?** A: Definitely no! Without power it's totally dead - like a stone! You must connect it to power and then you can expect it to work - if there is no anything other wrong. If you don't want to use power, you can check another model - http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-4-Port-Portable-Aluminum-2-Foot/dp/B00IJ331WY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416424283&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+usb+3.0+hub. It has only 4 ports and cannot charge devices, but it's more compact and doesn't power connection at all. **Q: Does this unit also plug in directly to an electrical outlet (so it can act as a charging "hub")?** A: Yes. There's also one USB plug that is only for charging, no data. **Q: can all seven ports be used for data transfer, or are some for charging only?** A: Have not tried to use all 7 ports. Paraphrased from mini welcome guide: "Use DC power adapter...and use the USB 3.0 type B cable to connect the hub to your computer. You may now connect any devices to the hub for data transfer or charging." **Q: why are hubs so expensive past 4 port? I don't see anything about them that really justifies the price.** A: These devices are not just splitters, they have to have circuitry to route the signals. More ports = more circuitry = higher cost. USB 3.0 devices are still at a premium compared to USB 2.0. If you don't need the increased speed of USB 3.0, USB 2.0 hubs are cheaper. You could also use 2 smaller hubs if you have the ports available. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Class Quality and Attention to Detail! *by T***T on February 4, 2015* This is a very impressive little device! - The piece is very well built and obviously using high quality USB ports and other first rate materials.

(Only 2 weeks of use). VERY reasonable price for a well-designed 3.0 hub. I don't use it for charging (at least, haven't yet). The seventh port delivers 1.5 - 2A for charging mobile devices, sufficient for iPhone 5 and many other devices. But, I do have a couple of external drives plugged in all the time, which I use as Time Machine backups. My machine is a MacBook Air, so there are only two USB ports available. Previously, I was just switching out the devices as needed. But, this works great! The external drives are both Lacie (one is a USB powered 1 TB Porsche mobile drive #9223; the other a larger desktop 2TB Porsche model with its own power supply, that is partitioned to function as a storage drive as well as a Time Machine drive.) The Mac just switches between the two drives automatically. So, this 7 port powered hub leaves one of the Mac's USB ports free for direct ethernet connecting (via USB adapter) or DVD drive, neither of which will work properly through a hub. I've seen no problems since beginning to use this hub about 2 weeks ago. The transfer times seem great, as I was accustomed to fast speeds before plugging into the hub, though I haven't actually clocked it. The only minor glitch I noted was that when attempting to "eject" the smaller ext. Lacie drive, the Mac stated it could not eject because the drive was "in use." It wasn't, so I wondered whether this might have to do with the connection through a powered hub. Ordinarily, this smaller drive does not have an additional power source. Anyway, I re-booted, and ejection went smoothly. Have not had the problem since, so perhaps it had nothing to do with the hub. The 'always-on' blue light mentioned by some others does not bother me at all, since I've placed the hub behind my Mac, which usually has the cover raised. I'm guessing those who don't like this could simply put a tasteful paper or cardboard "roof" over the hub. With the LED's it's nice to see at a glance that each port is actually functional. I do appreciate all the comments here, which I definitely found helpful before my purchase -- so I wanted to return the favor. Also, Anker cust. service has already reached out to assist. I've had other products of theirs, and support is a strong feature for them. So rare these days! And, definitely worth supporting! ## Frequently Bought Together - Anker Powered USB Hub for Laptop, 7 Ports USB 3.0 Data Hub, With 36W Power Adapter and BC 1.2 Charging Port for iPhone 7/6s Plus, iPad Air 2, Galaxy S Series, Note Series, Mac, PC, USB Flash Drives - Cable Matters 5Gbps USB 3.0 Cable - 6ft, USB A to B Cable, USB3 Cord with Type-B 3.0 Connector for Hard Drive Enclosure/Built-in Hub and More, Black - Amazon Basics USB-A to USB-B 3.0 Cable, 4.8Gbps High-Speed with Gold-Plated Plugs, 6 Foot, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/19042139-powered-usb-hub-for-laptop-7-ports-usb-3-0](https://www.desertcart.in/products/19042139-powered-usb-hub-for-laptop-7-ports-usb-3-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
