7. Recommendation and Advice

 Use good quality power cables, paying attention to thicknesses (see 

AWG guide table in APPENDIX) and connectors. Thin and long power 

cables could cause problems to devices like cmos, ccd etc.

 Please use a power supply sized and suitable for the required 

absorption.

 Also for USB cables, use good quality and short cables.

 Make sure to use a good quality power supply/battery with a cable of at 

least 16AWG.

 The power outputs protected with a polyfuse will self­restore when the 

device that generated the problem will be disconnected.

 In case of  polyfuse intervention on one port, the other ports will 

continue to work seamlessy.

 

 The maximum transfer rate of the USB ports is 480Mbit/s, which 

theoretically corresponds to 60Mb/s. Any slow data writing to your hard 

drive or SD card could be caused by a memory write speed lower than 

the USB transfer speed.
