Add 7 external, wall mountable USB 3.2 (10Gbps) ports from a single USB-C connection

The 7-Port Industrial USB 10Gbps Hub with Power Adapter features 5x USB-A and 2x USB-C device ports. Built with a durable all-metal enclosure, it withstands harsh and industrial environments while offering Level-4 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection (15kV Air / 8kV Contact) to safeguard connected devices. For secure connections, this hub includes two 3.3ft (1m) USB cables (USB-C to C & USB-C to A) with side screw locking to prevent accidental disconnection. The hub can be surface-mounted (on or under a desk, wall-mounted) or DIN rail-mounted, ensuring a secure and space-efficient installation.

Power & Charging

This versatile hub can be powered via the included universal power adapter or the 7-24V DC terminal block, making it ideal for industrial settings or where standard power outlets may be limited.

When not connected to a host, the hub functions as a dedicated charging station, supporting BC1.2 charging / Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) across all ports. Each port delivers up to 2.4A, with a total power budget of 40W (8A) when all ports are in use, ensuring efficient charging for multiple high-powered peripherals.

High-Speed Data Transfer

With speeds of up to 10Gbps on all downstream ports, this hub is ideal for data storage banks, SSDs, NVMe enclosures, RAID drive enclosures, and 3D printers/scanners. It is fully backwards compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB 2.0, and USB 1.x devices.

OS-Independent

This TAA Compliant hub is compatible with all operating systems and host devices and has been tested for compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS.
