StarTech.com 10 Port USB 3.0 USB Hub, Terminal Connector Powered, 198 mm 31 mm 56mm

StarTech.com USB Hub, 10 Ports USB Ports, USB 3.0 Specification - ST1030USBM

This USB hub provides expanded USB connectivity for industrial and laboratory environments, consolidating multiple high‑speed connections into a single Interface for workstations and equipment. It supports USB networking via a modern USB 3.0 specification and is powered through a Terminal connector to handle sustained device loads. The unit is Compact and slim, suitable for installations where space is limited and multiple peripherals must be connected reliably.

Features and Benefits:

• Ten downstream ports deliver simultaneous device connections and throughput
  USB 3.0 Interface enables high‑speed data transfer for bulk traffic
  Terminal connector power input supports stable external power delivery
  CE approval confirms adherence to recognised regulatory standards
  Slim profile allows discreet mounting in constrained enclosures

Applications

• Suitable for connecting multiple sensors to automation controllers
  Ideal for linking test equipment in electronics workshops
  Used with industrial PCs to expand peripheral interfaces
  Can be used for charging and data synchronisation of handheld devices
  Suitable for deploying multiple USB instruments on a single bench

How does the power arrangement affect sustained device loads?

The Terminal connector accepts an external supply so peripheral power is offloaded from the host, reducing USB host current draw and supporting higher combined device consumption.

What connection type is required on the host system?

A USB‑compatible host port that supports USB 3.0 signalling is required to take full advantage of the hub’s data rates.

How Compact is the unit for integration into control racks or enclosures?

The device’s footprint measures 56x198mm with a low profile height of 31mm, facilitating placement in narrow spaces or as a rack‑mount alternative where full rack units are not feasible.

Is the hub suitable for high‑traffic multi‑device setups?

The combination of ten ports and USB 3.0 throughput is intended to handle high‑traffic scenarios with multiple simultaneous transfers.
