If the hub takes in 12v, then it's converting it to 5v internally.  Chances are, the 12v to 5v conversion in the hubs is more stable than just pumping 5v in from a cheap external brick.

I use a TekNet and an Anker hub - both take in 12v, and I'm running both off a PC PSU.

Here is a picture of the new Anker 9+1 port hub compared to the older Anker 10 port black/silver hubs. Also shown is a re-branded black Anker 10 port hub, the TeckNet 10 port

You can see the massive size difference.


Do you think this one is big enough for the Blue Fury?

Port gap wise possibly not. The hub itself only has a 2A psu so you would only be able to run 4 max. Although if you only have 4 or less then it should be fine.

The USBFury work to 5V.Is possible to use a HUB that works to 12v.? I have seen recommend for the USB block erupter HUB USB 12v 4A.

I run my hubs off the ATX PSU I run the Blades off.  I'm the sort that doesn't throw stuff away, so I have a heap of various cables with power jacks on them from dead PSUs.  Just hacked them on to a Molex and job's jobbed.

2x Blades, 11 BEs, 2 hubs, soon to be 2xBlueFurys all running off a Corsair CX750.  It'll probably run my Jalapeno if and when it ever arrives, too.

The sipolar hub has had some very bad reviews - it can only power 12 usb miners

the selller has no feedback

but other reputable sellers sell em  £46.65 / piece + Shipping: £17.39

Spacing between the ports are right and so is the power requirement

I'm using this (labeled as "Logilink") with 5 BEs. Mine has a 3,5A PSU and was only 10,30 € (with PSU). So it should be good for 7 Units.

I had ordered 3 of these, and sent them back. they only managed to power 4 erupters. and then a minute later bang. so I returned these. I would not recommend a cheap looking hub

The description on amazon says 2Amp so its out of limits with 4 devices

edit:- Don't forget your basic DC calculation          Amps*Volts=Watts    2A*5V=10W   
         If the psu indicates output at 5V 2A  DC      USB sockets supply 5V    then the sockets have less than 10Watts total power available due to internal use, heating etc. Each device needs 2.5W minimum.

                                        So at  12V 4A DC      then the sockets have available  4A*12V=48W (less losses)  USB still supplies 5V    so 48W/5V=9.6A (less even more losses)

So out of these, which hub should I get which can hold a lot of Blue Fury? How many can I hold? Thanks

For me it looks like the Tecknet is the best option. Size is one of the biggest and it's cheaper than the ORICO. The power supply is 4A which should take up to 8 Fury's

As you can see in my picture, the TeckNet hub will power 10 Erupters. BlueFury miners use the same power as an Erupter. If the gap between ports is wide enough, the TeckNet hub should be able to power up to 10 Fury's
