StarTech.com 16 Port USB 3.2 USB Hub, DC Power Supply Powered, 13 mm 0.2 in 1.2in

StarTech.com USB Hub, 16 USB Ports, USB 3.2 Specification - S5G16AINDS-USB-A-HUB

This USB hub provides expanded USB connectivity for industrial and rack-based environments, enabling multiple USB-A devices to Interface through a single host connection. It operates to distribute high-speed USB data while drawing power from an external DC supply, and is designed for installation where dense port counts and robust electrical protection are required.

Features and Benefits:

• USB 3.2 throughput for Faster device data transfers Sixteen USB-A ports to connect numerous peripherals simultaneously Level 4 ESD protection reduces risk from electrostatic events DC power supply input to support high-current device loads Compliant with EIA-310-D mounting for organised rack deployment

Applications

• Suitable for server-rack USB consolidation in data centres Ideal for automation test benches requiring multiple USB endpoints Used with industrial control panels for peripheral expansion Can be used for bulk device programming in electronics manufacturing Used for lab rigs needing many simultaneous USB connections

How is electrical protection implemented against static discharge?

The unit incorporates Level 4 ESD protection rated for 15 kV Air discharge and 8 kV contact discharge to protect connected devices during electrostatic incidents.

What physical profile allows it to fit into Compact installations?

The hub has a shallow operational depth of 13mm and a narrow width to suit congested or space-limited mounting scenarios.

What connection standard does it use for host communication?

It uses the USB 3.2 specification to provide high-speed communication between the host and attached peripherals.

How many downstream ports are available for device attachment?

There are sixteen USB ports available for connecting USB-A devices simultaneously.

What type of power arrangement supports higher current draw from attached devices?

The hub accepts an external DC power source to supply the aggregated current requirements of multiple connected peripherals.
