StarTech.com 5G7AINDRM-USB-A-HUB USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface hub

Connect and manage up to seven USB Type-A devices using this USB hub - Designed for industrial/commercial environments

This 7-port 5Gbps managed industrial USB hub allows users to enable or disable individual USB ports and reboot the hub using the USB Hub Administrator software (free download). With a rugged housing 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 settings.

Managed USB Hub

The USB Hub Administrator software must be installed on the host computer, allowing users to remotely control access to devices and manage operational functions. With this software, users can:

- Enable or disable individual ports or all ports on the USB hub.

- Reboot the USB hub.

- Set a password to restrict unauthorized access.

- Save port states for quick configuration in specific applications.

- Use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands for command-line operation or custom application development.

The software is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it versatile across different platforms. It supports an unlimited number of managed USB hubs, allowing users to connect multiple hubs to a single host computer or daisy-chain them sequentially.

Rugged and Reliable

The industrial USB hub features a rugged, high-strength metal housing designed to protect the hub from potential damage caused by accidental drops or sudden impacts. It also protects against electrostatic discharge (ESD) with Level 4 ESD protection of 15kV air and 8kV contact. This robust construction ensures durability in demanding industrial environments, providing peace of mind to users in situations where durability and reliability are paramount.

Power Flexibility

The USB hub offers power flexibility to meet diverse user needs. It supports a wide voltage range of +7 to 24 volts DC, ensuring compatibility with various power sources. With two DC inputs, featuring both a terminal block and a barrel jack connector, users can choose to power the USB hub using either input or both simultaneously for added redundancy. The USB hub supports the USB Battery Charging 1.2 specification, providing up to 1.5A (7.5W) on 6 of the output ports, allowing for fast powering and charging of external devices.

StarTech.com offers an external power adapter (part number: ITB20D3250, sold separately) that will allow the USB hub to operate at peak performance.

Mounting Options

The USB hub is thoughtfully designed for user convenience and adaptability. Equipped with integrated mounting brackets, installation is simplified. The hub can be mounted on a variety of surfaces, such as walls or desks. The DIN rail bracket ensures secure mounting in industrial environments.

High Performance

This rugged USB hub is compatible with 5Gbps SuperSpeed USB and maintains backward compatibility with legacy peripheral devices. Furthermore, the USB hub offers enhanced security through the USB Event Monitor utility, a feature included in the StarTech.com Connectivity Tools application. This utility logs and time-stamps USB port usage, allowing IT administrators to identify potentially malicious devices.
