Rugged Four Port USB Hub Delivers up to 1 Amp on All Ports Simultaneously
Specially designed for USB super users, the 4-Port Lab Brick® USB Hub from Vaunix offers high end performance.
Vaunix Technology Corporation has introduced a new four-port USB hub to its line of high-quality Lab Brick® products. The self-powered, industrial-quality model LPH-204B USB hub features an oversized power supply capable of providing as much as 1 A current at +5 VDC to each of its four USB ports simultaneously. Designed to power USB peripherals, such as the company's Lab Brick signal generators and digital attenuators, the model LPH-204B USB hub delivers clean, highly regulated power to audio, video, RF, and microwave USB devices for applications in production lines, test laboratories, and automatic-test-equipment (ATE) systems.
The LPH-204B USB hub supports low speed, full speed and high speed peripherals with data transfer rates to 480 Mb/s with superior Vbus regulation of ± 2% typical over all specified load conditions. It provides digital voltmeter (DVM) probe access on port 1 in order to monitor current, and offers over-current protection on all four ports. The Lab Brick USB hub, which operates from +12-VDC for compatibility with automotive power supplies, is designed for operating temperatures from -30°C to +55°C and exceeds USB 2.0 and 1.1 standards.
The LPH-204B Lab Brick USB Hub is housed in a robust, cast aluminum enclosure measuring 3.86 x 2.52 x 1.35 in. (98 x 64 x 34 mm) and weighing just 0.5 lb. (0.23 kg). The lightweight, durable housing equips the USB Hub for the most rugged environments.
"You can run over this Hub with a truck one minute and use it to operate four high power devices the next," says Scott Blanchard, Vaunix's President. "We simply engineered it to be the best Hub on the market."
Accessories include mounting provisions for installation into various locations, such as test benches, test racks, desks, and vehicles. A 12-V, 24-W AC/DC adapter and USB host cable are also provided.
