Engineered for Use in Industrial Environments

This USB hub is built to withstand harsh industrial environments. It features a rugged steel housing that provides protection against physical hazards such as drops and impacts. It is equipped with Level-4 ESD protection, with 15kV air and 8kV contact discharge ratings, to safeguard against damage caused by static electricity. These features make the USB hub an excellent choice for use in factories, production lines, and other industrial settings.

Three Mounting Options

The 16-Port USB Hub offers three mounting options to accommodate a wide variety of applications, from IT to industrial. The 19"" rackmount rails included with the 16-Port USB hub are compliant with EIA-310 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard racks. These rails can be used to install the USB hub into 1U of rack space for applications in data centers and server rooms. The built-in surface mount is perfect for workstations, desks, or walls, where users need quick access to the USB hub. The standard DIN-rail (Top Hat/TH) mounting hardware is best suited for industrial automation and control equipment.

Connect and Charge USB Devices

This USB Hub features two 12-24V DC power options. Power can be inputted using the 2-wire terminal block connector or the barrel connector. Both options enable support for USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (BC 1.2) with 120W shared across all ports. Ports are grouped in 8 pairs (1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, 9&10, 11&12, 13&14, 15&16) and each pair supports max 3.0A/15W combined (1.5A/7.5W per port), or max 2.0A/10W per port when only one of both ports is used.

Dual-Host Switch

The USB Hub can connect to two separate desktop or laptop computers, and features a dual-host switch that enables easy toggling between them. The dual-host switch provides a convenient solution for applications requiring two host devices.

Wide Device Compatibility

This USB Hub is OS independent ensuring compatibility with all operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
