Product Features
Technical Overview
The hub connects to a host computer via a USB 3.0 Type B interface using the included 6-foot (1.8 m) cable. All 10 downstream ports support USB 3.1 Gen 1 specifications, delivering 5Gbps theoretical bandwidth with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. UASP support reduces CPU utilization and improves data transfer efficiency when used with compatible operating systems and storage devices.
Power delivery is managed through a universal power adapter supporting multiple regional plugs (NA/JP, ANZ, UK, EU) or alternative DC input methods. The hub accepts a wide +7-24V DC range, allowing integration with existing DC power systems, LPS supplies with terminal blocks, or standard AC outlets. Total power output reaches 50W distributed across ports, with BC 1.2 charging support delivering up to 2.4A (12W) on any four ports simultaneously based on available power.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of USB ports does this hub have and what speeds do they support?
The HB30A10AME features 10 USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports that support data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. All ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, though connected devices will operate at their native speeds. The hub utilizes a USB 3.0 Type B host connection to your computer and includes a 6-foot USB 3.0 cable for this connection.
How is this USB hub powered and what are the power options?
This hub offers multiple power input methods for flexibility in different environments. It includes a universal AC power adapter that supports NA/JP, ANZ, UK, and EU plug types. Alternatively, it accepts DC power in the +7-24V range, allowing connection to existing DC power systems, LPS supplies with terminal blocks, or other DC sources. The hub provides 50W total power output to downstream devices.
Can this hub charge devices and what charging standards does it support?
Yes, the hub supports BC 1.2 (Battery Charging) specification, allowing it to charge compatible devices at up to 2.4A (12W) on any four ports simultaneously, depending on available power. The 50W total power output is distributed across all ports, so when multiple high-power devices are connected, charging speeds may adjust based on power allocation.
What mounting options are available for this industrial USB hub?
The hub provides three mounting methods for flexible installation. It includes DIN rail brackets for standard industrial DIN rail mounting, has built-in mounting ears for wall or under-desk installation using the supplied screws, and can also be placed on any flat surface.
