Connect and manage up to seven USB Type A devices with this USB hub - designed for industrial/commercial environmentsThis seven-port Managed Industrial USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) hub allows you to turn individual USB ports on/off and reboot the hub using the USB Hub Administrator software (free download). Featuring a ruggedized enclosure and versatile power options, the USB hub is designed to meet the needs of IT professionals working in industrial environments such as factories, warehouses, offices and other similar environments. Managed USB hub The USB Hub Administrator software should be installed on the host computer, allowing users to remotely control access to the device and manage operational functions. With this software, users can do the following: - Enable or disable individual or all ports on the USB hub.- Restart the USB hub.- Set a password to restrict unauthorized access.- Save port status for quick setup in specific applications.- Use commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) for command line operation or custom application development.The software is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it versatile across platforms. It supports an unlimited number of managed USB hubs, allowing users to connect multiple hubs to a single host computer or cascade them in sequence. Durable and reliable The industrial USB hub has a robust metal casing that protects the hub from potential damage caused by accidental drops or sudden shocks. In addition, it protects against electrostatic discharge (ESD) with 15 kV via air and 8 kV via contact, level 4 ESD protection. The robust design ensures resilience in demanding industrial environments and gives users peace of mind in situations where durability and reliability are paramount. Power flexibility The USB hub offers flexible power supply to meet different user needs. It supports a wide voltage range from +7 to 24 volts DC, ensuring compatibility with different power sources. With two DC inputs, with both terminal block and concentric cylinder connector, the user can choose to power the USB hub with either input or both simultaneously for redundancy. The USB hub has an external power source connected and supports USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2. It delivers up to 2.4 A (12 W) on 6 of the downstream ports, allowing you to quickly power and charge external devices. For optimal performance, an external power source is required. StarTech.com offers an external power adapter (part number: ITB20D3250, sold separately) that allows the USB hub to operate at maximum performance. Mounting options The USB hub has a thoughtful design for user convenience and customizability. Equipped with built-in mounting brackets, which simplifies installation. The hub can be mounted on a variety of surfaces, such as walls or desks. The DIN rail mount ensures secure mounting in industrial environments. High performance: The ruggedized USB hub supports SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) and maintains backward compatibility with legacy peripherals. The USB hub also offers enhanced security through the USB Event Monitor tool, a feature of the StarTech.com Connectivity Tools application. The tool logs and timestamps USB port usage, allowing IT administrators to identify potentially malicious devices.
