In response to yesterday's featured 12-port hub, Res Ipsa Loquitur (@mchangesq) tweeted "Try 31 ports. 2.0-compatible."

"Five USB HUB boards and +5V power supply unit are stacked up."

15 ports on one side,

16 on the other.

"Fill all 31 ports with USB devices! Cables look like spaghetti!"

Creator Sasaki Shunsuke gives directions and answers FAQ here, among them:

Q. I want this HUB! Do you make another one and sell it to me?

A. No. I Don't have enough time to make another one, and I don't want to sell off my one.

You can too!

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference 31-port USB hub — 12 is so yesterday:

Comments

Less than $50.00 for 23 ports (don't forget the one lost to daisy-chain) and less than $550 for the max (with the stick hubs) of 253 ports all hanging off of a single controller.

My days of building regulated power supplies and assembling this array from scratch are pretty well over.

I would mount all 12 USB bar-hubs neatly by using double-stick foam tape to form a nice block and would mount it in some nice panel where all of the power bricks, the assorted power strips and big ass UPS would be nicely concealed.

I hope that I never need the modern equivalent of an old telephone patch-board for USB devices!
