The StarTech.com 4 Port Industrial USB 3.2 Gen 1 Hub is engineered to deliver robust and reliable USB scalability in demanding environments. Its heavy-duty metal housing ensures durability and protection in harsh industrial settings, factory floors, product labs, repair facilities, conference rooms, and office workstations.

This hub is designed with professional-grade protection, featuring dedicated ESD and surge protection on each of its four USB-A ports. This critical safeguard helps prevent damage to connected devices from electrostatic discharge, offering level 4 protection with ratings of 15kV air and 8kV contact discharge. For maximum connection integrity, both the upstream host port and downstream device ports are equipped with screw-lock connectors, preventing accidental disconnections in high-vibration environments.

Performance is uncompromised, supporting high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps. It also supports the Battery Charging Specification 1.2, capable of delivering up to 2.4A per port with a maximum total power output of 30W, making it ideal for charging and powering peripherals simultaneously.

Installation flexibility is a key strength. The hub includes built-in mounting brackets and hardware, allowing for secure attachment to walls, desks, racks, or machinery. Its wide-range 5-24V DC terminal block input provides versatile power options, allowing it to be integrated into existing industrial power systems (a DC adaptor is not included). It is fully OS independent, requiring no software or drivers for operation.

Built to perform reliably under tough conditions, it operates effectively across a wide temperature range from 0°C to 60°C. With dimensions of 23mm (H) x 178mm (W) x 59mm (D) and a robust construction, this hub is the definitive solution for expanding and securing USB connectivity in any professional or industrial application.
