Deployment / Use Cases
The ICI207A Industrial USB Hub serves critical expansion needs in environments where standard USB hubs cannot survive. Its rugged design and flexible mounting options make it ideal for permanent installations rather than temporary desktop setups.
In manufacturing facilities, this hub connects barcode scanners, label printers, and diagnostic equipment to control systems. For industrial automation, it provides reliable USB connectivity for PLC interfaces, HMI devices, and sensor arrays. In laboratory settings, it supports scientific instruments and data collection devices with consistent, uninterrupted connectivity.
Manufacturing & Production
Connect peripheral devices on factory floors where dust, vibration, and temperature variations require industrial-grade hardware.
Control Systems Integration
Mount directly into control panels or on DIN rails alongside PLCs, HMIs, and other industrial automation equipment.
Physical Profile
Measuring 5.50" wide × 3.50" deep × 1.40" high (139.70 × 88.90 × 35.56 mm), the hub maintains a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained installations. The 635-gram weight reflects its robust metal construction rather than lightweight plastic housing. The external form factor requires no internal system modifications and can be positioned optimally for cable management and accessibility.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.40" (35.56 mm), 5.50" (139.70 mm), 3.50" (88.90 mm), 635 g. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What makes this USB hub 'industrial-grade' compared to standard hubs?
The ICI207A features vibration-resistant construction, wider temperature tolerance, and industrial-grade components designed to withstand harsh environments like manufacturing floors, control rooms, and outdoor installations. Unlike consumer plastic hubs, this unit uses durable materials and engineering suitable for continuous operation in demanding conditions where reliability is critical.
What mounting options are included with this USB hub?
The package includes two panel-mount adapters with four mounting screws for installation in control panels or equipment enclosures, plus a DIN rail adapter with three mounting screws for standard industrial rail systems. This comprehensive mounting hardware transforms the hub from a desktop accessory into a permanent installation component for professional environments.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance certifies that this product is manufactured in the United States or another designated country, making it eligible for procurement by U.S. federal government agencies, state governments, and educational institutions that require TAA-compliant products. This expands the hub's suitability for public sector and institutional deployments where compliance mandates exist.
What type of USB cable is included with the hub?
The package includes a 6-foot (1.8-meter) USB Type A to Type B cable. This cable connects the hub's Type B upstream port to a computer's Type A port, providing both data connectivity and power delivery. The generous cable length offers flexibility in positioning the hub relative to the host computer in industrial installations.
What is the warranty coverage for this industrial USB hub?
Black Box provides a 5-year limited warranty for the ICI207A Industrial USB Hub. This extended warranty period reflects the product's industrial-grade construction and reliability expectations for continuous operation in demanding environments. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
Can this hub be used in non-industrial environments?
Yes, the ICI207A functions perfectly in office, commercial, or home environments where its rugged construction provides enhanced durability compared to consumer hubs. The industrial design offers superior longevity and reliability even in standard settings, while the mounting options allow for clean, permanent installations in desks, cabinets, or equipment racks beyond industrial applications.
