USB hub Exsys EX-11247HMS 7-port DIN-rail with 15 kV ESD protection

Exsys EX-11247HMS is a 7-port USB hub designed for DIN-rail mounting in industrial and automation environments. The hub provides seven downstream USB ports and integrated 15 kV ESD protection to reduce the risk of damage to connected peripherals from electrostatic discharge. Its compact form factor and DIN-rail compatibility make it suitable for integration into control cabinets, machine panels, and other industrial installations where reliable USB connectivity and device protection are required.

Advantages

The Exsys 7-port DIN-rail USB hub consolidates multiple USB connections into a single, easily mounted unit, simplifying cable routing and device management inside control cabinets. Built-in 15 kV ESD protection helps protect sensitive equipment from electrostatic events, and the rugged design is intended to withstand the electrical and mechanical demands of industrial environments. By centralizing USB ports on a DIN rail, the product reduces clutter and facilitates serviceability.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple USB peripherals to industrial controllers and PLCs
• Mounting inside control cabinets and electrical enclosures
• Factory automation workstations and HMI setups
• Edge computing and embedded systems requiring several USB connections
• Laboratory and test benches where ESD protection is beneficial

Key specifications

• Number of downstream USB ports: 7
• Mounting type: DIN-rail compatible
• ESD protection level: 15 kV
• Intended environment: industrial/automation use
• Connectivity: standard USB downstream interfaces for peripheral devices

How to use

Install the hub onto a standard DIN rail inside the control cabinet or enclosure and secure it according to the mounting instructions. Connect the upstream host interface to the control system or PC using an appropriate USB cable, then attach peripherals to the downstream ports. Ensure power and host connections meet the electrical requirements of both the hub and connected devices. Route cables to avoid interference with moving parts and to maintain easy access for maintenance.

Recommendations

Place the hub in a location with adequate ventilation and away from sources of excessive heat or moisture. Use shielded USB cables and proper grounding practices in noisy electrical environments. Regularly inspect connections for wear or damage and replace cables showing signs of degradation. If operating near strong electromagnetic sources, maintain recommended clearances and employ additional filtering if necessary.
