How to Organize Outlet Source With 10 Phones?

Katherine » Sun Mar 19, 2017 4:32 pm

So I use a power surge protector with another connected to it (smaller) so all the chargers can fit on it. Some of the chargers come big and bulky and take up 2 spaces. I bought months ago, a usb hub. It was cheap, black and blue with options to switch off a certain usb plug. The problem is, the power isn't getting distributed between all 7 ports on it, so it won't work with all of them. I'm pretty sure all the ports are 2amps. I can only get a couple or 1 charging at most on it.

Do you guys use usb hubs? Are those even recommended, do they work? Lol, mine doesn't. Maybe because it was cheap. Any other suggestions for power supplies? Lol, thanks :)

I forgot to mention, this surge protector I have is only being used for 5 phones. I have 2 surge protectors hooked up to eachother for 10 phones in another room

My usb hub won't hold more than a couple phones on a charge, and even then idk if it's getting the full charge it's supposed to. The usb hub says 3.0 high speed. Is this only cause it was cheaper? I think I bought it for around $10 on ebay months ago.

Here's the one I have now: https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-cm-ins ... er-adapter

Is any usb hub okay? Or did I just get stuck with a broken one.

I have a couple of these. I like having USB ports and power outlets and there pretty reasonable in price. Misayar 3 Outlet Long Cord 2/ 3 Prong Surge Protector Power Strip with USB, 6.5 foot Extension Cord Transition Strip with Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NGYKO4R/re ... MX7UBe2WOt
