Questions about Icy Box 13 port hub with USB Type-A connection and 1x charging port, IB-AC6113

Yes, a 10 port hub is connected to a computer with Windows 10 in the company where I work. If a 10 port works without problems, so does a 13 port.

As far as I am aware, I use all 13 ports as data or power ports.

Hello Novski, when you plug in the USB, the respective LED lights up

As far as I can tell from the instructions, the separate charging port is the only one with enough power to charge your phone quickly. The other ports also work, of course, but the charging speed is slower because less power is available.

Yes, if I understand the question correctly. All inserted sticks are displayed on the computer as separate drives and you can drag and drop the same or different files onto the sticks at the same time. So it's definitely more convenient and quicker than plugging the sticks in again. However, you are limited in terms of total data throughput by the USB controller on the computer, which may not be able to deliver 13x full USB 3.0 speed.

Included is the cable approx. 50cm

No, you can’t charge with all 13 at same time. The power supply is too small.

I don't know, mine doesn't work any more. get rid of it.

According to my information, the USB cable is 60cm long.

Tagchien. Maybe this one will fit: Phihong plug-in power supply, fixed voltage (5A, 60W) You only need a 12V 5A 60W power supply with a suitable plug. You can also get them at media markt or conrad etc.

I tested it with a simple USB-C hub that enables a USB-3 connection. I was able to successfully operate the ICY Box with this. You simply have to have a hub/converter from USB-C to USB 3. A cable would not work because the input cable of the ICY does not have a typical USB 3 connection but the one that is often used with printers. Otherwise, it should work according to my test.

Simultaneously? According to the USB 3.0 specification, the maximum is 900mA per port. This hub may go a little higher, but I haven't tested it. The 14th port is special and can supply up to 2.1 amps. However, the mains adapter supplies a maximum of 60W, so even with loss-free conversion, only 12 amps are available in total. Realistically, about 10A. But 1.1A on 13 ports would be more. Therefore, 1.1A on all ports at the same time is not possible.

It is stated in the information: - Incl. 12 V / 5 A power adapter, 1x USB 3.0 connection cable less
