SDR safe USB Hub?

[GeoFenceFound]

Cany anyon suggest a safe dedicated powered USB hub I can plug multiple SDR's in? I have tried several, powered externally and powered by the computer and the SDR's keep turning off from what I assume is under powered hubs. I have tried these hubs on different computers and get same result. I am usually using the SDR's for data only, not much voice for our different radio system across the central part of the state. I would like to power up to 4 but need enough space between to plug them in.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have not tried that but I can give it a shot. Either way, the ones I currently use dont have enough space for the new SDR;s I have so I'll be getting a new hub. Curious what others were using with luck. Ill look at Anker, thanks

I run 2 NooElec and 2 Airspy Mini on this PC without a hub. I use short usb extension cables.

That works if you have the USB availability, but on my primary machine, a Dell laptop, I only have two USB ports and 5 USB devices. Hence, the need for a USB hub.

I run 5 rtl-sdr's on one of these, with attached heat sinks, and no problems with heat or usb band width, and connected to a USB3.0 on an older HP laptop. They are plugged into every other slot because of the heat sinks, and un-used ports are turned off.

I run the Startech 7 port Hub at home and have 4 Airspys with no issues of ever shutting down. They are not cheap but work very well.

Laptops can have problems to supply enough USB power but as it works and then stops working after a while it could be the energy saving feature not being turned off. It should be available in the control panels device handler. You should see all USB ports there and you click on each one and then on the tab for energy saving and turn that off. Do it for all USB ports you can find.
