It looks like a reasonable hub to me. I checked some of the feedback on Amazon and didn't see anyone complaining it backfeeds power or burns out motherboards.You can also find it here https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Splitte ... B08KXNDTPV
So my question is if it backfeeds if I use it as a bus-powered USB hub, and how also if it backfeeds when powered via optional USB-C power (it doesn't explicitly mention PD)

They say there is short-cirtuit and over-current protection in place, but I don't know if this is also relevant to the issue of backfeeding.
If the image is true then it has this chip based on what I have found via Google it has a Geneys Logic 3510
I found this datasheet https://www.semiee.com/file/GENESYS/GENESYS-GL3510.pdf
Clipboard02.pngPowered with USB C Port: This USB 3.0 hub comes with a USB C port for extra power supply by connecting a USB C cable which is sold separately. With its USB C port, you could easy to run some power-hungry devices, such as large-capacity hard drives.
Even so, I'd be tempted to test it before using it with a Raspberry Pi. The only powered USB hub around here uses the same power supply for the hub as for the Pi. I don't think it backfeeds, but I never checked carefully.
Could anyone a recommend a way to check if a hub backfeeds power without connecting it to a Raspberry Pi?
