Title: Belkin USB wiring grommet
Post by: bratwurst on December 18, 2009, 02:23:01 pm

Anyone use one of these or similar in a cabinet before?  I'm thinking of adding this to my cab, but don't really want to spend $25+ on it if there is something similar or better out there for cheaper.

How many USB ports do you need?

Those look quite bad.  :P  I got one like this from Neutrik;

Fit a 7/8" hole, look great, small, simple, discrete, available in black or silver. Just perfect. :)

You can grab one for $8 at LizardLick. Shipping trough Canada was only $2. You will also need an USB A-B cable.

I like all of these. I've seen the Belkin hub integrated in a desk before. Looks real sweet.

I was looking at the StarTech one:

But the one from LizardLick looks like it will mount much more cleanly.
