StarTech.com 4 Port USB 3.0 USB Hub, USB Powered, 36 mm 14 mm 80mm

This USB hub is a compact, bus-powered device that expands a single USB connection into multiple ports for peripheral connectivity in industrial and laboratory environments. It operates using the USB Interface and supports high-speed data transfers while drawing power directly from the host connection, making it suitable for portable setups and field work where external power is not available.

• USB 3.0 throughput for Faster data exchange than USB 2.0 • Four downstream ports to connect multiple devices simultaneously • Bus-powered design avoids need for external adaptor • Slim profile for low-profile installation and storage • Compliance with RoHS, FCC and CE standards for regulatory alignment

• Suitable for connecting multiple test instruments to a laptop • Ideal for data logging with several USB sensors simultaneously • Used with programming rigs for embedded device flashing • Can be used for linking USB peripherals on crowded workbenches

Power is supplied solely from the host USB connection and shared among attached peripherals, so high-draw devices may reduce available power to other ports.

The unit has a low-height profile that allows it to occupy minimal vertical space when placed alongside instruments or packed with portable kits.

The hub uses the USB 3.0 specification which provides higher signalling speeds compared with earlier USB generations.

Any host port exposing standard USB signalling can connect to the hub, allowing use with a range of laptops and control systems.
