Built for tough environments.
Now you can connect four USB 2.0 devices in industrial settings without worrying about accidental disconnects or ESD damage to your connected USB devices. This Industrial USB 2.0 Hub features high-retention ports that ensure a tight connection - even in high-vibration environments. The ports require a hefty 3.4 pound of force to disconnect. Don't worry about special cables either. This hub works with regular USB cables.

The hub operates at speeds of 480 Mbps. It provides true USB 2.0 transmission through each port, even during heavy load applications. And, to make your life easier, it's plug-and-play with no drivers to load.

Built tough, too.
This compact hub is encased in a rugged, polycarbonate plastic house so you can mount it almost anywhere. Use the included mounting brackets to secure it to a panel, countertop, or other flat surfaces. It can also be DIN-rail mounted.

Drive the bus.
Because the hub is powered entirely by your USB port, you don't have to worry about cluttering up your industrial setting with lots of power cables. As a bus-powered device, it provides 100 mA of power to downstream peripherals - more than enough for most applications.

It makes the grade.
Tested to meet industrial EMC standards, this hub is far more robust than office-grade hubs. It meets a number of CE and FCC certifications, including:

• EN61000-6-1: Light industrial
• EN61000-4-2: ESD, plus/minus 8kV contact, plus/minus15 kV air
• EN61000-4-3: RI, 3 V/m
• EN61000-4-4: EFT burst, plus/minus 1 kV DC ports, plus/minus 0.5 kV signal ports
• EN61000-4-5: Surge, plus/minus 0.5 kV power
• EN61000-4-6, CI, 3 V/m
• IEC600068-32: Drip, 10 total drops from sides, corners, edges
• Emissions: FCC Class B, CISPR Class B (EN55022)

A great choice for factory, utility, engineering, and even healthcare applications, the Black Box® Industrial-Grade USB Hub, 4-Port with Isolation enables more reliable USB device connectivity in harsh environments.

The hub expands one USB port into four, so you can connect additional USB peripherals to your host system via its upstream port. Considerably more rugged than ordinary, office-grade USB hubs, it's designed to allow you to operate USB peripherals in areas with lots of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and prevent data errors caused by such interference.

Tested to meet heavy industrial EMC standards, the hub is also designed to prevent ESD (electrostatic discharge) from damaging your connected USB devices - which makes it ideal for use near electronically noisy motor controls, variable frequency drives, and equipment with large electrical loads.

The hub supports full-speed (12 Mbps) USB 2.0 connections and offers isolation from ground loops. Use it, for instance, in areas where you are connecting a PLC in one cabinet to a drive-in another cabinet, or in a tightly packed medical cart. It enables data to pass unaffected while 4-kV isolation between the upstream and downstream USB ports helps prevent harm to important USB devices.

Because the hub has high-retention ports for device connections, standard USB cables are a lot less likely to shake loose - even in environments with lots of equipment vibration. (Disconnecting them requires up to 3.2 pounds of force.) Cables click into the ports securely to help eliminate data loss.

Through its terminal block input or locking barrel plug, it receives power externally from a 10 - 30-VDC source and provides 500 mA to each downstream port.

The hub includes hardware for mounting, including a DIN rail mounting bracket and panel-mount brackets.

The Freedom II KM Switch with Glide; Switch enables a single user to easily access information and control operations across the computer systems and monitors, saving time, money, and space. The Freedom II works like an extended desktop switch on a single computer. Once you configure your screen layout for the attached PCs with up to four external displays, switching ports is as simple as moving your mouse cursor over the screens' X and Y borders.

Freedom is ideal in command and control applications, such as those in finance on a trading room floor. Not only can users switch between several computers just by moving the mouse, but they can also simultaneously access a mix of USB peripherals, including high-speed USB 2.0 devices.

Additionally, the Freedom II KVM Switch integrates with the Black Box Agility IP-based KVM system. This Freedom II KM Switch can interface with Agility receivers, and then switch the Agility targets using just one keyboard and mouse.

The Freedom II KM Switch is ideal for command and control applications such as in:

• Broadcasting
• Public safety
• Industrial
• Defense
• Transportation
