The USB hub can supply power through the USB cable itself.

Sometimes, the device requires more power than the hub can provide. In that case, there is usually a power adapter to an outlet in your house to power it and a USB cable to make the connection.

Also USB cord supplies power to devices that require less than 500mA(milliamperes) current.

What is an active USB hub?

An active USB hub is a USB hub which has its own power supply. It will come with a DC power adaptor to power it. The USB system in your computer is capable of providing electrical power to devices which are plugged into it. When a large number of devices, or some particularly power-hungry devices are plugged into the USB system, it is possible to overexert this system. An active USB hub shores up this this power reducing the likelyhood of problems. A passive USB hub does not. Additionally, USB devices will often not work properly with more than 12 feet of cable. An active USB hub (or active USB extension cable) can help to overcome this limitation.

What is a USB power jumper?

A USB power jumper is a device or cable used to provide power to USB-powered devices without the need for a standard USB host connection. It typically connects the power pins of a USB port directly to a power source, allowing devices to be powered on independently, often for testing or development purposes. This can be useful in scenarios where a USB device needs to be powered without data transfer or when troubleshooting power issues.

What is the purpose of USB phantom power and how does it enhance the performance of audio devices?

USB phantom power is used to provide power to microphones and other audio devices that require it to operate. This power is sent through the USB connection, eliminating the need for separate power sources. This enhances the performance of audio devices by ensuring they receive a consistent and reliable power supply, resulting in improved sound quality and overall performance.

Do you need to hook up a power cable if your using SATA drive?

Yes; power is not supplied by the data cable. An exception might be a small-form-factor, external, USB-connected drive, as the USB port can power low-power devices. If an external USB hub is expected to power external devices, it's best if the hub itself is powered, otherwise available power is split among too many devices, potentially leaving something underpowered.
