⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will there be power issues if I plug an unpowered USB hub into a powered on or vice versa⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

will the unpowered hub run into power issues if I plug high-power-consuming devices into it?

Yes, since it’s limited by how much power it can draw from the other hub, and would have a limit on how much power the unpowered hub can pass to its own ports.

And does it make any difference if I switch the hubs order?

Yes. Putting the powered hub second means that it doesn’t need to pull power through the unpowered hub, and it should be fine right be used as normal.
