Question about USB Hub and BCF2000

I have a couple, but haven installed them yet. I was wondering if they can be all connected to an USB Hub since I've run out of USB ports on my PC.

I think that since the BCF has it's own power source it would probably work. My only concern is that two connected to one hub may be a bit glitchy. Hook um up and give um a try is probably the best way to find out. Blessings BishopJD

Much of the success depends on the quality of the hub. Don't scrimp to save a few bucks. I've tried several and so far the newer model Belkins are working well for my DVD burners, midi keyboard, etc. I have this model in my studio: and the 7-port on my everyday-online system.

If the BCF has it's own power source, then you can connect them just fine to the hub, as it won't be using the 5V from the USB. If the BCF2000 is powered only by USB, you might have some troubles. I don't know if it demands a high electric current (all devices connected to the hub should not demand over 500mA of electric current), but hubs are more suited for low consumption devices like standard joysticks and pendrives. The good news is that there are USB hubs which are self-powered (with it's own power supply) that can deliver 5V and the max of 500mA on each port. DealExtreme has some cheap choices. Fergo

Thanks for the response, guys. I'm asking because I'm planning to have four to make a 32 channel console. At the moment I have two, but only been able to connect one since I've ran out of USB ports.
