USB signal duplication

[yoyoboyx43]

I am about to buy a UPS for four machines to run off, however the UPS has only one USB auto-shutdown port (it doesnt have SNMP either). Is there anyway I can duplicate or copy the signal so I can connect it to all four machines, basically a "reverse-hub"?

The only other idea I had was to convert the USB signal into Parallel then duplicate that, then convert it back again to USB but the first way would be easier. Any suggestions?? thanks!

just use a hub like you said

I need something like that....

a "reverse-hub" does not exist to my knowledge. Does anyone have an answer for this?

I just realized this is over 5 years old... wow. There's got to be an answer for this lol.

oh come on.. there's go to to be something out there?

I just want to duplicate 1 line into 2. So, for example, one mouse could be sending it's signal to two computers. All those UBS "Switches" won't do that would they?
