How in the he.. did you find this ancient thread?? Especially considering there is a much newer one specifically for the new sticks where you will find your answers...
Now that usb sticks are being sold by sidehack here is a new usb hub thread

I have 3 of your 19 port hubs.

If I buy the bridge above what would it supply to

Picked up one of these the other day for my Gridseeds:

http://www.frys.com/product/5665801?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

It was ~$20 in-store at the time. Amazon didn't have them...don't know where else you might find them that might be cheaper. In any case, it's a 7-port hub with a 3.6A power supply bundled with it. Instead of the dinky 1.35mm (?) power connector you see on most hubs, it has the same 2.1mm connector that the Gridseed miners use, so you could pull an unused 5V output from your power supply and run the hub with that. I expanded from 6 to 8 miners today, so all seven ports are in use (plus a port on another hub). So far, all's well and it's cranking about 2.75 MH/s.

I'm getting 50 (and more in the future) USB miners. What USB hub should I get? No idea what is good these days.

8 of these will power 56 BE Eruptors and will cost you $143.92. With a dollar per port = US 2.57 , there is nothing on the market that can touch this.

Best of all it, comes with a 12 Volt 5 Amp PSU

cheers,

Can u post a link to where you got it?

Looks nice.
Is this charging port also data connected? This 2.1A would be perfect for powering the cubieboard i guess.

the anker 10 port 3.0 usb, it powers 10 hubs, tried and tested... does not work on a PI apparently

i prefer the black

No it only provides power. You can use it for a fan though.

Additional: AC adapter US$10.00

Makes me think that you can use 2 5V/3A adapters to get 6A meaning it can run atleast 12 most likely 16.

yes you would most likely need an additional power adapter to get the hub fully powered.

the anker USB 3.0 hubs are the best if you are not suing PI.... you can run 10 USB on each hub. I had 76 erupters set up on 8 anker hubs via windows running on bfgminer perfect

That was my initial choice. Here is another link to it with specs: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/eecf/#tabs

Power Adapter
cUL, FCC
Input: 100 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz; 1.6A, maximum
Output: 5 V / 4 A
Cable: 1.2 m (6 ft.)

Only enough power to run 8 Cry

ports look like they are too close together to be side by side.

will either one be able to run ~20 erupters?

See the bolded statement above... it only runs 8.

The best solution for 10+ I've found so far is the Anker linked in this thread earlier.
