USB hub Exsys EX-1505HMVS 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 with 15 kV ESD protection

Exsys EX-1505HMVS 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub expands a computer's USB connectivity with four downstream ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer speeds. The compact hub is intended for desktops, laptops and workstations where additional USB ports are needed for peripherals, data synchronization and charging small devices. Integrated 15 kV ESD protection helps reduce risk of damage from electrostatic discharge for connected equipment.

Advantages

The hub provides four high-speed USB ports in a compact enclosure that is easy to position on a desk or carry with a laptop. Support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 ensures backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices while delivering up to the Gen 1 transfer bandwidth for compatible peripherals. Built-in 15 kV electrostatic discharge protection offers an extra layer of safety for sensitive devices and cables. The device requires no additional drivers for most operating systems and connects via a standard upstream USB interface.

Suitable for

• Connecting multiple USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice and external drives
• Synchronizing and transferring data between devices
• Charging small USB-powered gadgets where basic charging is supported
• Expanding port availability on laptops and compact workstations

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 upstream and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 downstream ports
• ESD protection: integrated protection rated to 15 kV
• Compatibility: backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices
• Form factor: compact hub for desktop or portable use
• Power: bus-powered from upstream USB port (no external power supply included)

How to use

Connect the hub to an available USB port on your computer using the upstream cable, then attach peripherals to the hub's downstream ports. For high-speed data transfer, use USB 3.x compatible cables and devices; for legacy devices the hub will operate at the lower device speed. If multiple power-hungry devices are connected, some may not charge or may charge slowly because the hub is bus-powered and provides limited current per port.

Recommendations

Place the hub close to the host computer to minimize cable strain and use quality USB cables for reliable high-speed transfers. Avoid connecting many high-current devices simultaneously if no external power source is present. Keep the hub and connected devices in a dry, static-free environment to maximize the benefit of built-in ESD protection.
