StarTech.com 7 Port USB 3.0 USB Hub, AC Adapter Powered, 172 mm 23 mm 70mm

This USB hub provides a centralised connection point for multiple USB devices in industrial and laboratory environments. It expands a single USB port into several high-speed downstream ports while drawing external power to support peripherals that require additional current. The unit is compliant with common safety and environmental standards and connects via USB for straightforward integration with test benches, control stations and desktop systems.

• Seven downstream ports enable simultaneous device connectivity
• USB 3.0 Interface delivers increased data throughput for transfers
• External AC adapter supplies additional current to peripherals
• RoHS, CE and FCC approvals ensure conformity with regulatory requirements
• Compact footprint supports constrained benchtop and rack spaces

• Suitable for connecting multiple instrumentation interfaces on a test bench
• Ideal for attaching data loggers and measurement modules in automation setups
• Used with programming tools for simultaneous firmware deployment
• Can be used for expanding workstation I/O in electrical test labs

It uses an external AC adapter to provide the required supply separate from the host USB port, allowing the hub to support devices that draw more current than a host port can provide.

The hub uses the USB 3.0 specification for the upstream link, enabling compatibility with hosts that support USB 3.0 signalling.

The design meets RoHS, CE and FCC standards, covering environmental restrictions and electromagnetic compatibility expectations.

The housing measures 172mm in depth, 70mm in width and 23mm in height, suitable for Compact placement on crowded benches.
