[Discuss] Raspberry Pi low voltage indication

[Murray Strome]

Hi Mark,
It is a certified Data #HYD-9031 10 Port USB 3.0 HUB (10 3.0 A-type 
downstream ports. I have been unable to find any clearer specifications. 
I called London Drugs (the only store that sells them) and they don't 
have anything more complete. When I talked to him, he said that 2.4A is 
the USB 3.0 standard.

The next thing I was planning to do was to try to find a heavier (or at 
least different) cable than the one I am using. I probably have one 
somewhere, but have not found it yet.
