My suggestion is to say, 'This product complies with FCC Class B
requirements when used with a USB hub that complies with those
requirements.'
This statement is not always true. Two class B devices could fail class B as
a system. I think that the status quo is the best that we are going to get
without a lot of unnecessary cost and delays:
If the device is marketed by itself, then the manufacturer should not
be expected to account for all unintentional antennas and/or oscillators that
could be connected to it.
If it is marketed as a system, then the manufacturer/distributor
should take precautions to make sure that the system meets the regulations.
