Anker Slim USB hub mount (‎AK-A7516011 / A7516)

This mount is using 2 Anker A7516 hubs that are extended each via a USB-A extension cord to the computer.

You press the hubs into the main part, screw one of the mounts into the back side of your worktop and push the bottom of the rail in the main part onto the mount. It then should be able to just slide down. It is recommended to mount everything outside of the leg space of the table to reduce the risk of accidental breakage.

Since I had quite a few devices connected at all times before, I used to stick the hubs to the underside of the table, where they are out of view. For spontaneous connections I stuck another hub at the front of the table. While the front one has proven itself quite useful, it had to endure quite a few bumps to the knees. Also the hidden hubs did not stick very well, which might be the fault of the tape I used, but the pull on some of the devices also didn't help. Also when needing to replug any device, I had to crawl under the table to do so, so I designed this mount for two of my hubs instead, which also takes away the need for the front hub.

The idea is to connect the needed devices and slide them out of sight (and away from the leg space) and if a replug is needed or new device needs to be connected, you just pull on the tab with one hand and connect the device with the other hand.

Since my worktop is quite thick, the mount is secured using two screws, so it doesn't rotate around. If your desk is slimmer, I have created a second mount that secures to the back side of the worktop as well as the bottom side. If you choose to use this mount, the bottom screw can't be longer than 22mm. The thickness of the bottom is 12.5mm, so it is probably best to pick a length of about 18mm.

If your desk is even slimmer, you can decide to just mount it using one screw, but you will have to deal with the side to side movement. If there is demand for an even slimmer mount, leave a comment and I will see what I can do.
