Doesn't come with an additional power adaptor, but has a port that you can plug into should you wish to add power.
Got one earlier this week, good USB 3.0 speeds.
but where to get that power adaptor from ?
Somewhere like Jaycar: https://www.jaycar.com.au/5v-dc-1a-ultra-slim-power-supply-7…
Manual says it takes a 3.5mm DC power supply, but no info on amps nor wattage: https://www.kmart.com.au/wcsstore/Kmart/pdfs/42829386_Manual…
thanks, I grabbed a compatible one on a trip to Thailand for 75 cents
Just to note that this is a clearance item so stock may be light. Attempted an online C&C order last night, got cancelled and refunded this morning.
Most likely they just cbf finding the one or so available.
Would recommend
I have one of these C-plug hubs connected to a 3.2 port and one of the A-plug hubs connected to that - a printer, external HDD, dongles and a fan all plugged in to the hubs with no issues and no additional power connected
Oh ffs I just got one of these yesterday
Return it
yeah way to much effort there
Been this price for a long time so you would have paid the same?
Didnt buy from Kmart bought from amazon (and not exactly the same product, but I needed an older style hub)
Does it have pass through power via USBC input and can I use it to plug peripherals into Chromecast?
No passthrough power as it doesn't have female USB C ports, all 4 are USB A. You could power it via the 1.5(?)mm tiny barrel jack plug but Chromecasts are notoriously picky about having a compatible power supply so that likely wouldn't work either.
Something like this should work but it is 20 bucks instead of $4.
I find that Chromecasts aren't that fussy as long as you haven enough power delivered from the socket - thats why they are a bit spotty to use with usb ports in back of tv.
Your experience may differ but this hub fried my father-in-law's keyboard and mouse after 5 minutes. Questionable quality. (USB-C to USB-A)
Get Orico or baseus brand hubs instead…
Nice find Lucky Penguin, grabbed a couple and its nice compact unit that'll stop me having to swap USB devices all the time.
Ordered C&C from a nearby Kmart showing 1 in stock, recieved an Auspost notification of a package being sent from Kmart VIC to my Kmart QLD store. I've requested a redirect direct to my address so will see what turns up.
Nice find Penguin cheers!
