Hi! Ibought this
HUB for my Raspberry Pi. It works, but I found strange thing: When I power off my Raspnerry Pi AC adapter, it (RPi) still gets power from HUB.
Is it normal and HUB should power my RPi?
yes, the new versions of RPi can be backfeed from USB ports, so yes this is normal
Thanks a lot! And yes, it's new revision with 512 Mb RAM.
So.. you don't even need to connect the microUSB port of the RPi to this hub? Thats one less cable, would be nice.
yes,you do not need to connect micro USB to power up RPi as it can be powered from USB ports.but I do not recommend this

Right, but I'm not sure, that power supply ONLY from HUB will be enough...

depends on how many mA's can the HUB out on each port.if is less than 900 I would not even try
