DELOCK interface hub USB 2.0 Type-B to 4x USB 2.0 Type-A (480 Mbit/s), black, metal housing, DC powered

The DELOCK interface hub is a compact USB 2.0 hub with a Type-B host connector and four downstream USB Type-A ports, housed in a black metal enclosure. Designed for industrial and workstation use, it provides five USB ports in total, supports up to 480 Mbit/s data transfer and accepts DC power input. The hub features screw-secured connections for each USB port, wall mounting plates and a DIN rail bracket for fixed installation, and protection against electrostatic discharge.

Advantages

This metal-housed hub offers reliable USB 2.0 connectivity for peripherals and industrial devices, with secure screw connections that prevent accidental cable disconnection in mobile or vibration-prone environments. The included mounting accessories and DIN rail bracket simplify installation in control cabinets or on walls. ESD protection up to 15 kV increases durability in electrically noisy environments, and the option to use an external DC power source provides flexibility for powering multiple devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple USB peripherals (keyboards, mice, scanners) to a workstation
• Integrating USB devices in industrial control cabinets or on DIN rails
• Use in mobile or vibration-prone environments where screw-secured cables are needed

When it may not be suitable

This hub uses the USB 2.0 standard with a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s, so it is not suitable when high-speed USB 3.x data transfer rates are required, for example when working with large external SSDs or high-bandwidth video devices. Also, if you require passive power from the host for many power-hungry devices, an appropriate external power supply should be used.

Key specifications

• Host interface: USB 2.0 Type-B
• Downstream interfaces: 4 × USB 2.0 Type-A
• Total ports: 5 (including host)
• Maximum data rate: 480 Mbit/s (USB 2.0)
• Enclosure: black metal housing
• ESD protection: up to 15 kV
• Power input: DC connection (5 V) and terminal for 9–36 V
• Mounting: wall plates and DIN rail bracket included

How to use

Connect the hub to a computer using the USB Type-B host connector. Plug peripheral devices into the downstream USB Type-A ports and secure cables to the ports using the M3 screw holes if required for a fixed, vibration-resistant connection. If connected devices need additional power, attach an appropriate external power supply to the DC jack or provide 9–36 V to the terminal power connection according to the hub's input specifications. Install the hub using the supplied wall mounting plates or DIN rail bracket for stationary setups.

What to consider before purchase

• USB 2.0 maximum speed 480 Mbit/s — not suitable for USB 3.x speed requirements
• Check power requirements of connected devices and use an external power supply if necessary
• Ensure compatibility with your operating system (Windows 10/11, recent macOS and supported Linux kernels)

Recommendations

For stable operation in industrial installations, secure USB cables with the M3 screws and mount the hub on a DIN rail or wall. Use an external power supply when connecting multiple power-drawing peripherals to ensure reliable device operation.
