USB 3 hub for Venue 11 Pro (5130)

USB 3 hub for Venue 11 Pro (5130)

I got an Anker (W6PH4) 4-port USB 3.0 HUB (un-powered). When I plug USB 3.0 peripherals directly into the tablet, they all work but they don’t work when I use the HUB. However, the hub works when I plug USB 2 peripherals.

Can you please recommend a USB 3 HUB the works with 5130? I need un-powered version. Thanks

    Any of the Venue * Pro models can supply only limited power to attached devices; you will absolutely need to use a Powered USB hub to reliably transfer data to/from your tablet when connecting multiple devices via USB. (USB 2.0 devices typically require less power to operate than their USB 3.0 counterparts; some USB 2.0 devices might initially mount via an unpowered hub, but it's unlikely they will continue to operate reliably thru that connection...)
