Re: charging device - does this exist?

This sounds perfect, Richard. It would be even more perfect if I could find the one with some USB-C ports Inc. as well. Thank you so much for posting this particular link. Sent from my iPhone 15 Pro!

It plugs into the wall and has a USB-A cord that is very short for plugging into your computer if you want to plug in accessories to connect to your computer.   The three ports farthest from the cord that goes to the wall are for data transfer only, and don’t charge. But the first 7 from that Wall cord both handle data and charging. I have my external CD Rom plugged in, my usb headset, usb speakers and my USB dongle for my keyboard and more. They also make one with a USBC plug to the computer and USBC ports, but I have mostly the older USB-A devices.

I need the hub to plug into AC power to charge my devices.   TIA, Robin -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
