Thanks pete! After watching a previous pod cast of yours, I bought the very model you suggested. It works excellently and elegantly.

I have one of these, Pete. Seven USB inputs and four charger inputs, as well. Very handy! I bought it after watching another video of yours. Thanks for the heads up! 😊

Can a USB webcam connected to a similar hub like this, .. and, .. a powered USB extension cable (plugged in to it) enable the webcams to send data THROUGH the hub into the extension cable (to my PC)?

I don't understand how my webcams would transmit the data into the hub and then out through the USB extension cables, .. is this what the hub would enable?
