The mountable design keeps cables organized and the hub protected from accidental displacement.
Industrial Automation
Connect USB peripherals to PLCs, HMIs, and industrial computers on manufacturing lines with protection against electrical interference.
Commercial Installations
Expand USB connectivity for POS systems, digital signage players, kiosks, and other fixed commercial equipment with secure mounting.
Physical Profile
The hub features a compact black external enclosure measuring 6" in length, 2.30" in width, and 0.90" in height (152.40 × 58.42 × 22.86 mm). Weighing approximately 10.62 oz (301 g), its slim profile and integrated mounting brackets facilitate installation in space-constrained locations. The rugged construction withstands vibration and environmental factors typical in industrial settings.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.90" (22.86 mm), 2.30" (58.42 mm), 10.62 oz (301 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
