Related question: The external USB hub is labelled "5vDC 5.0A", but I
can't find a wall-wart with the correct (3mm) power plug.

(Why do MFRs make these things and don't package them with the power
supply? Bah!)

because it works perfectly fine without one, so by not including a
power adapter, they can offer a usb hub for a lower price. there are
also hubs with power adapters, for those who need it.

the real question is if you wanted a usb hub with a power adapter, why
did you buy one that didn't include one?

Anybody know a source? Ip;[ve looked in all the usual places.

apparently not, because they're incredibly easy to find.

start with the manufacturer of the hub, or just do a search for 5v
power adapter, which comes back with many, many hits. if you have a 5v
adapter with the wrong size plug, then get an adapter cable or just cut
the plug off and replace it with the correct size. or just get another
usb hub that includes a power adapter, which may end up being cheaper
than buying a power adapter separately as well as less hassle.
