Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Mini-Hub F5U215vMOB Review

This hub is not powered and does a fine job for mice, flash drives and other underpowered devices. But does not work with scanners, external drive etc. It has an adapter hole for a power adapter, but even Belkin doesn't sell it. I had no luck locating one on the web.

Belkin F1U200 4-Port USB Auto Switchbox (4 PCs to 1 Device) Review

I bought this device to hook two computers to one printer using two different operating systems. Works perfect. Simple setup, straight forward use. The lights are clear and easy to read. My only complaint is the additional cables I had to buy, they only send one extra cable. I think they should give you four since you can add up to four devices. The price was good for what I got. I would recommend this for even novice users of computers.

Belkin F5U002 USB Parallel Printer Adapter Review

Belkin F5U002 USB Parallel Printer Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this cable a few weeks ago to replace my bi-directional cable for my HP Deskjet 697C. While I agree that the packaging was poor and left much untold. What I found was a product which I was more than satisfied with. Like the others, I am a Computer Tech. A System Administrator to be exact. I was having communication problems with my printer since purchase. Sometimes the bi-directional communications would work-sometimes not. Print jobs would hang after a couple of pages. This cable has resolved that problem. After reading these reviews, I would like to make mention that the packaging does not guarentee complete compatibility. Remember, this cable is designed to merge two types of communication which were NOT meant to be used on the same peripheral. USB is actually a networking technology. When your printer is connected using this cable, it is seen as a networked printer. If they are not designed to be a network printer, then the limitation is with your printer. And, the bi-directional technology in HP products only serves to provide feedback to the computer like paper outages. The printer works just fine without the bi-directional capability. Though it was a little depressing to find this, it isn't the cables fault. It is just the limitations you get when mixing two types of communication technologies. Overall, I am more than satisfied with the product. Just be smart and do the research before buying and buy from someone who has a return policy if it isn't compatible with your particular printer.

Belkin F3N401-06-ICE IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable (6 Feet) Review

The 6' 4 pin to 6 pin Belkin IEEE 1394/Firewire cable does exactly what it says it should for relatively cheap. As long as you're at the 400 MB/s standard as this is, there's no need to spend $50 on a gold plated connector and superheavy isolation like the Monster cables. Firewire is designed to function up to 15' without signal degradation, and unlike analog signals the 0 and 1s of digital signals aren't subject to manipulation by electrical fields. Either they get through or they don't, so as long as these are certified under the standard you save money by not buying useless frills. It's shiny translucent silver, not black, but if you care that much about cable color you probably already have your cables hidden anyway.
The 4 pin models work with most electrical powered devices; the 6 pin models usually are for devices that need battery power. (The extra two pins carry current.) For those looking for an adapter for Comcast/Motorola HDTV-ready digital boxes, this is the cable you need. For some reason Motorola decided to use a 6 pin adapter, where almost all HDTVs and DVHS VCRs use a 4 pin. (PCs typically use 6.) I've used one for a while now to run flawless 1080i signals between my Comcast HDTV box and my DVHS VCR. Recommended.

The Belkin 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable attaches a device with a four-pin port, such as a digital camcorder, to your computer's six-pin port at a rate of up to 400 Mbps. The cable is compatible with all Apple FireWire and Sony i.LINK devices. It complies with IEEE 1394 standards for reducing radio frequency and electromagnetic interference, uses molded-strain relief and PVC overmolding to enable error-free transmissions, and has twisted-pair construction for the highest possible transfer rates.

Belkin F5L009 5-Port Network USB Hub Review

Belkin F5L009 5-Port Network USB Hub
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The posts that are complaining about sharing devices, connection issues, etc. need to understand that the problem is with the USB protocol and not the device. USB devices are not designed, or even able, to run on multiple devices at once. Have you ever plugged an external drive into two computer at the same time? Why would this be any different? If you need to access a hard drive from multiple computers at the same time, get a NAS drive. The device also is not designed to power external drives, like the usb powered western digital drives noted in a review. I actually have gotten one to work with no problem, but after talking to a few Belkin guys they don't really know what will or won't work with the device. Any drive that has its own power supply should work with no problems.
Also, you can share between computer easily. If you have to do something with a different computer, you can either request the devices (sort of like IMing) or just click on the disconnect button. Simple, like ejecting a device.
If you understand what this, its awesome and works like a charm. I've gotten all sorts of cool stuff, from midi devices, DVD Burners, Printers, Scanners,cameras,etc. to work with it. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star is because I accidently plugged in the wrong power cable (12v not the 5v) and blew out the power supply. It should have a buffer, but Belkin replaced it for the cost of shipping, so I can't be to upset about. I actually found myself missing it within a few days of messing with wires!
Also, MAC drivers ( doesn't work with Leopard yet) are available here:

Belkin F3U133-10 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Cable (10 Feet) Review

Belkin F3U133-10 Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Cable (10 Feet)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently needed to buy a USB cable for my new printer and I found out that there are many USB cables at very different prices.
So, doing a search I found the "Belkin 10FT USBA/USBB Device Cable" but I was not sure if it would work for a printer. Since it was the less expensive I decided to give it a try.
I'm happy because the cable works great with my USB printer and I found out that the cable actually exceeds the features displayed on amazon site.
The cable manufacturer part number is F3U133-10.
With the following features:
- Hi-speed data transfer to 480Mbps
- 10 FT (3m)
- A plug/ B plug
- High performance 20-gauge power wires.
- USB logo guarantees cables are 100% compliant with current USB specifications (Works with all USB devices A/B plug).
- Works with USB 2.0
- Connect a USB 2.0 or 1.X device to your computer.
- Belkin lifetime warranty.
- Gold plated copper contacts provide maximum conductivity and minimizes data loss.
According to the manufacturer site you can connect your USB printer, scanner, hard drive and more to your computer. As I said, it works great with my USB printer.
I definitively recommend it because I got the less expensive (good length of 10ft) and great quality option for a USB printer cable. I'm also happy because the cable specifications exceeded my expectations for the money I paid.

Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub F5U407 Review

Another great product from Belkin. I have used it when traveling with my laptop to hook up extra equipment. I have used it at home with my desktop for some added USB-2 level ports. It is great as it is very small and can fit in a shirt pocket, backpack, shoulder bag or purse. It provides you with 4 ports, high speed transfer rates and it is plug and play so NO SOFTWARE required which is always a good thing. If you need more ports for any USB device this would be a great one, if you require more ports you have several good choices right here on Amazon.
