USB 24 Port Hub

HI

Does anyone know wher I can get a powered (UK) 24 port USB Hub

If you need it powered for charging devices, be prepared to spend more than expected amounts of money.

 

For example, a Datamotion DS-SC-U32 is a 32 port USB charging station, that provides 2.1a per port. This is up for sale at around $1200-1300 over in the US. (Can't find any UK distributors, however).

Don't really know if it needs to be powered , its to be used for setting up a load of iPads . As you said UK distributors are hard to find, but many thanks for the info and time

At BETT a couple of years ago Lapcabby were promoting a sync and charge ipad trolley that had a USB hub in it, they said at the time that you would be able to buy the hub separately, So we immediately thought that we could retrofit it to our existing trolley, 2 years later we are still waiting for it to be available.

I guess they changed their mind when they realised people would just buy the hub instead of buying a whole new trolley.

That must be a new addition to the site because I'm sure it wasn't there last time I checked

Amazon Marketplace have one for £74.92 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Monoprice-24-Port-Usb-2-0-Adapter/dp/B003WPDICM). I have no experience with it so have no idea how well it will work for your uses but it appears to have fairly decent reviews based on the Amazon US site (Amazon.com: 24-Port USB 2.0 HUB w/ AC Adapter: Computers & Accessories)

Just got quote for the Boost+ £498 FFS. That won't be happening but might have solved the problem with this
