Comment on Will there be power issues if I plug an unpowered USB hub into a powered on or vice versa

Read all their electrical specs carefully!

Usually, powered hubs can provide only what is needed to fulfill the (old) USB standard of 5V, 1A, which is only a little snack for today’s hungry devices.

But if the powered hub is actually stronger than the standard of 5V, 1A, then the powerless hub may burn out.

That’s why today’s (much stronger) chargers are no hubs anymore.
