A dedicated power port (DPP) providing 1 Amp (A) or more of current enables a user to charge mobile tablet and communication like devices (TCD) without the use of additional software or circuitry. The DPP is coupled with a multi-port USB powered hub (MPH), the user can simultaneously charge TCDs via the dedicated port while peripheral devices, which are connected to non-dedicated USB ports, continue to function within industry specifications. Thereby addressing a limitation for viable charging solutions of modern day TCDs while simultaneously retaining the functionality and convenience of a MPH, all in one embodiment.
