Hubport offers a simple solution for adding USB ports to a PC, server or thin client for instant peripheral device connectivity. This external, user installable solution plugs into a standard USB port to provide additional USB ports in a compact chassis. The switched USB architecture guarantees maximum performance on all ports simultaneously. Models include AC or DC powered hubs that accept power from standard AC wall plugs or a range of 5.5-30 VDC power sources, such as vehicle batteries. The Industrial grade compact chassis is small enough to fit nearly anywhere. With a high USB port count, the rack mount option is perfect for data center applications. Feature-rich design, extensive operating system support and reliable performance make Hubport ideal for mission-critical environments. Applications include connecting devices to a hub powered by car or truck battery for mobile applications; providing multiport USB connectivity in a kiosk or other compact environments; and connecting USB peripheral devices at an office workstation.
