Just remember the molex connector has both +12 and +5 on it, the colored wires at each side are the + side while the middle two are ground (-)
Typically the red conductor is +5 and the yellow is +12. You'll want the male versions of the pins and the connector.

The wall wart or hub itself should identify the +/- config of the plug for the hub.

I used solder in addition to the crimp on the pin as the wire for the hub's power supply wasn't #18 awg.

Good luck.

In Cryptocoins I Trust

How many Anker hubs do you have chained together, in what type of configuration?

The problems you're describing sound exactly like when I tried chaining too many ANker hubs together.

I solved this by running multiple chains of only two hubs in length directly to the motherboard. So.. for 10 hubs, I had to do 5 chains of 2 hubs each (luckily I had 7+ USB ports on my mobo).

Do they light up when plugged in and just not recognized?

I burned the wall wart out on my hub, couldn't find another one, so rigged up a molex -> bullet connector from the main PS and that works a treat (with lots of headroom on the AMP side to boot Wink

)

can you post of pic?

When I get home.. fairly simple to do though..

Though I did goof up and connected the - to the 12v ground, but it's all a common ground so it don't matter.

yea it lights up if i only put a couple in, if i do more they all go out

Sounds like the power brick died/weakened. My non anker generic cheap hub would only run two at a time without the external power, then I spent like $5 on a package of molex (male) connectors and the male pins, snipped the plug off the wall wart, connected it to the pins, fed them to the +5 and ground of one of the 'extra' connectors coming from the PS, plugged it in and now all six are humming away just fine (with a fan off the same source)

One of my Anker 10 Port Hubs quit working after I restarted a computer. It will work with 1 USB miner in it, but not more than one....

I've tried other power supplies that are known to be good and work fine on other hubs... same issue...

any ideas? Undecided
