I have not tried that. Any reason to choose that instead of a powered Hub, with a solid power supply?
he said he owned one. so it is free.
I read reviews on it I am not sure it would work I could not find anyone using it for data.
but if you have it on hand the worse that happens it it does not work or you burn it out.
Now for those that do not have a hub you can do this a few ways on the cheap.
http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Adapter-Charging-Protector-Indicators/dp/B00ELPSEVW/ref=sr_1_15? I used this cheap hub it ran this 1 stick from side hack on a pc.
I had lots of these hubs I would sell usb stick kits on ebay 3 ant miner u-1's 1 fan 1 usb stick with miner software.
so this usb hub was fool proof on the 3 U-1 stick level. and freq 175.
the power brick was 12 volts and 3 amps.
once you got to 6 sticks you ran into trouble. So if you want 2 or 3 of sidehacks stick this should be okay.
If you want 6 to 10 sticks I don't think it will work
