No. The USB2-2PORT is not designed to charge phones, tablets, or other battery-powered devices. It is a bus-powered USB hub that shares up to 500mA of available power between its two downstream USB ports.
Why Is the USB2-2PORT Not Suitable for Charging?
The USB2-2PORT gets power from the computer's USB port and has no external power adapter. The available power is shared between both connected devices.
The hub also does not support USB Battery Charging 1.1 or 1.2, so it does not provide the charging signals or higher-current charging modes used by many battery-powered devices.
The USB2-2PORT is best suited for low-power USB devices, such as keyboards and mice, or self-powered devices that use their own external power source.
What Should I Use Instead?
If you need to charge a phone, tablet, or other battery-powered USB device, use a dedicated USB charger or a powered USB hub specifically designed to support device charging.
