Product Features
Technical Overview
This USB hub operates on the USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard, delivering 5Gbps theoretical bandwidth with practical performance enhanced by UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) support. The host connection uses a USB 3.0 Type B interface, compatible with standard USB 3.0 and later host controllers. All seven downstream ports maintain full USB 3.1 Gen 1 speed capability, ensuring no performance degradation when multiple devices are connected simultaneously.
Power management is a key technical feature, with the hub accepting a wide +7-48V DC input range for flexibility in industrial power environments. The integrated terminal block supports DC drop and LPS configurations, while the included AC adapter provides conventional outlet power. Intelligent power distribution allocates up to 2.4A (12W) per port on any two ports simultaneously when sufficient power is available, supporting BC 1.2 fast charging for compatible devices.

Deployment / Use Cases
This industrial USB hub is ideal for environments where standard consumer-grade hubs would fail under physical or electrical stress. Manufacturing facilities, laboratory settings, and industrial control systems benefit from the rugged construction and electrical protection that prevent downtime from environmental factors.
The multiple mounting options make it suitable for space-constrained installations where equipment must be secured to DIN rails or mounted vertically on walls. IT administrators can deploy these hubs in server rooms, network closets, or under desks in commercial offices where reliable USB connectivity for multiple peripherals is essential. The wide voltage input range allows integration into existing DC power systems commonly found in industrial automation and telecommunications equipment racks.
Industrial Automation
Connect multiple USB devices in manufacturing environments where dust, vibration, and electrical interference require rugged, protected connectivity solutions.
Commercial IT Infrastructure
Expand USB connectivity in server rooms, network operations centers, and office workstations with reliable, high-speed data transfer for peripherals and storage devices.
Physical Profile
The hub's compact dimensions (6.60" × 2.20" × 1.80") and lightweight design (11.50 oz) facilitate installation in space-constrained environments. The black metal finish provides a professional appearance while the built-in mounting ears and included DIN rail brackets offer multiple secure attachment options. The form factor is optimized for both standalone use and integrated mounting within equipment racks or enclosures.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.80" (45.72 mm), 2.20" (55.88 mm), 11.50 oz (326 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
