Will the software work with MAC OS X El Capitan and the SIP implmentation? Can a USB hub be connected to this unit and how many devices may be supported?

Can't answer on OS X El Capitan or SIP, but you can definitely attach a USB hub. Per the product brief PDF on Silex America's website: "2 USB port – with a total of 1000mA of power supply; using an optional USB hub, up to 15 USB connections can be supported" I have one that has two 7-port single-chip (most are a 4-port hub with another 4-port hub cascaded) self-powered USB hubs on it and it works fine, though I don't think I've ever filled all 14 ports (if the hubs count, one port would have to stay empty). The SX2000 and earlier models had issues with cascaded hubs, but I do not believe this is the case anymore. I just have the same hubs I have from back then (translucent case made it easy to find one that wasn't a two-chip hub).
