I'd be happy if manufacturers made power strips with separate on/off
switches instead of having to have all powered or all unpowered. But
I digress ;-) My query on this thread, and the reason I mentioned
the monitor stand, was/is can I use an unpowered multi-port USB hub
when my only use for the hub is cable management? I use only *one*
USB device at a time (plus the keyboard on a separate port) with each
device sharing the one USB cord on its separate port that I currently
move manually to whichever device I am going to use. So the hub will
be drawing USB power for only the *one* device. In essence, it would
be used as a kind of USB cable extender, of sorts. Used in this
manner, is there any need to have a powered USB hub?
