Unfortunately, a USB 1 hub ain't worth even $5 for most uses these days...

To use this, you really need to purchase the optional power adapter. I just don't see the reason for this product even if it came with the power adapter. Maybe one of you guys can enlighten me. Have a great day. Here are some tips about these hubs that I copied from various sources. Remember these are for the old USB 1.1 Hubs.
Always Buy a Powered Hub
A powered hubs can always be used as port powered device by removing the power supply cable
Quality products have good warranties
USB Hubs do NOT supply additional USB bandwidth
If you require additional bandwidth a PCI/USB add-on is required NOT A HUB
Powered Hubs can and often do correct USB power problems with some USB Host Controllers
Hubs do NOT resolve improperly configured or non-functioning USB Host Controller issues
What happened to USB 1.1?
USB 1.1 allowed a maximum transfer rate of 12Mbits/second. It is now obsolete, but both of its speeds (1.5Mbps & 12Mbps) are being adopted into USB 2.0, and they are now called Original USB officially. Though some manufacturers label their products Full-Speed USB. Note that this seems a bit deceptive as it's easy to mistake Full-Speed for Hi-Speed. You won't be fooled from now on as you now aware that Full Speed USB is only 12Mbits/second where Hi-Speed USB mode is capable of a much faster 480Mbits/second.
Traditionally, USB mice and keyboards only need 1.5Mbps to function; exceptions are gaming input devices that require 12Mbps, and they include the Logitech G5, G7, G15 and Razer Copperhead. These higher-end gaming products send way more location feeds thru USB; hence, more bandwidth is required. Generally, the performance levels (1.5Mbps & 12Mbps) are grouped under 'Original USB' by the USB Promoter Group.
