Greg,
I don’t use these little red boxes as it ties you into using ZWO and nothing else, but there’s quite a few posts on CN about using your ASIair as a power or network hub
From what I’ve read power is Ok to use but USB is not as obviously ZWO have designed it to use with their software and devices
Most folk recommend the Pegasus power box and the like ( very expensive though $$)
I use Startech 4 port industrial active USB hubs on both rigs and for power I made up my own cables with 12v centre positive connector and Powertech 12v power adaptor power supply ( total cost $250 )

Maybe someone on IIS has found a workaround for the USB on the ASIair to convert it into a dumb network distribution hub ???

Cheers
Martin
