I am looking for a USB 2.0 hub which has a flip switch to switch between being in self powered mode and being in bus powered mode. Any suggestions??

    why?

    self powered does not actually power the device, it only suppliments the bus power. Self powered hubs are always better.

    My adaptec does not have a switch but you just unhook the power from it and it goes bus powered. be easy enough to wire a switch into the power line.

    I need it for an application in which I need to control when power is supplied to the USB hub. If I unplug the adapter, I do not want the hub to draw power from the USB bus and still be working. I want it to switch off.

    I found a USB 1.1 hub (Belkin F5U021u) which has a switch to go between self powered mode and bus powered mode. But I need a USB 2.0 hub.
