It doesn't matter where you have bought your hub, from Apple or elsewhere...
If you want some peace of mind you have to buy a hub with VIA chipset VL812-B2 or newer...
I thank you for your suggestion.
The problem I see is that dealers do not indicate the chipset.
Do you know which hubs have such a chipset?
Your information will be very appreciated.

Please see https://www.anker.com/products/taxons/114/Connectivity
There are some hubs indicating the chipset.

We 're using this one for about a year and a half: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00JWLLHE6/ref=pe_386171_51767411_TE_M3T1_dp_1
I think that Orico and Plugable have similar hubs.

Also this thread may be of help.
