USB hub

[SCHISCHKA]

Im struggling to find a USB hub that has at least four 2A ports.

Let me make this very clear, I want a hub, not a charger.

I already have a charger that can do this, I want a hub that connects to my computer.

 

Here is an example: https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HUBTPL0720/TP-LINK-USB-30-7-Port-Hub-with-2-Charging-Ports-UH

I need two of these to get 4 decent charging ports, but I want them in one package.

i dont know much about this but im pretty sure usb ports are not able to supply that but the most i could find was

typo i meant 2.1A. The ones im looking at can do this but only one port at a time.

yea that is similar to the one I am looking at but it will be expensive to buy two, plus I dont know if i can manage another spare power point

Man I can't find the one he had, the most 2.1 ports I can find is 3.

the one you posted before was good. now i just need to find if ther eis anything cheaper.

That one was good coz it uses the standard, i think its called IEC, appliance power socket so I dont need to buy an adapter, I can use one of my spare cords.

There was one downside and that is it has a fan, might have to mod it.

I edited my comment because It didn't look like the one from before had data transfer capabilities.

the 10 port doesnt but one of the 4 port ones does. Its got an OTG function, i am now searching using the keywords 2.1A 2.4A and OTG

That's pretty close, I wonder how much difference .1a really makes.

[kerradeph]

I don't really know what they're trying to get 2.1A out of 4 ports for though. 

[kerradeph]

There was a Silverstone successor to that one that was supposed to be 10 ports but apparently that never came out.

i was actually looking at this on pbtech.co.nz. its $69NZD there + $5 shipping. I like it but...

its 2A out of any port, but only one port at a time, hence the selector switch.

 

At this price id rather buy a 5V transformer and build/modify a cheap hub. The current and voltage displays can be done with a pair of cheap $5 to $10 multimeters. I think I might do this and throw it into an empty PCI slot.

[kerradeph]

Wait, what do you mean it's only out one port at a time? The selector switch is for the LCD to switch between readouts. 

 

EDIT: Oh... crap. Output : DC 5V / 3.5A

yep,  this might be a good product as not all tablets & phones will need 2A at the same time, charging over night for example. If the switch is only for the display then it might be a winner, except the for the price; i might just buy a USB3 PCIe card and modify it
