I have 9 of these running in a 10 port hub (el'cheapo off ebay) and running fine
but I have wired the hub to a 5V 30A power supply (also bought off ebay)

Note. I have cut the (red) power wire in the USB cable that connects from the hub to the PC.  just in case it tried to pull power from it if the power supply fails.

 

Judging from the picture, its this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/volt-power-supply-enclosed-switch/dp/B00CP3SSKE/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1389784665&sr=8-16&keywords=5v+power+supply


right?

yes that seems to be same type and would work fine.
the only difference I can see is my one has a clear terminal cover that clips down after connecting wires.  otherwise it's same thing.
there's a switch to select input to suit AC 220V or 110V AC.  And also a pot right side of terminals to adjust output volts, but the default setting was fine.

I will post a pic soon of how I wired it up.
