UPS USB chaining?
Yes, the Apple keyboard is a USB hub, it just doesn't have many ports. If you are looking for a USB hub you might try looking at Free After Rebate they have them from time to time. It'll cost you shipping though (unless you manage to find enough free items all in one place to qualify for free shipping!). Good luck.
UPS USB chaining?
Thanks for the rebate link; I'll check that out. Slightly defensively, yes, the Apple keyboard is a USB hub, but I was wondering if there are any issues the way (Apple claims) there are with running Apple speakers through -- the keyboard doesn't support whatever the audio-over-USB spec is. So: Is there some kind of funky UPS-over-USB functionality that most Apple keyboards don't provide? Or am I just worrying about nothing?
UPS USB chaining?
APC say you should plug their UPSes directly into a USB port on the computer, rather than though a hub.
UPS USB chaining?
I've never been certain why APC says one should plug the UPS directly into the computer instead of a USB hub. I suspect there is some obscure technical reason; but hypothetically there is no reason why you couldn't plug in the UPS via a hub, as long as the hub is itself plugged into the Battery Backup side of the UPS. |
