Interface Hub USB 2.0 EXSYS EX-1596HMVS

The EXSYS EX-1596HMVS is a USB 2.0 Type-B interface hub designed for industrial and embedded applications, offering a data transfer rate up to 480 Mbit/s. Housed in a robust black metal enclosure, it expands downstream USB connectivity with six screw-type USB 2.0 ports and is compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The hub supports a wide input voltage range (DC +7 V to +48 V) via a pluggable terminal block connector that no longer requires a screwdriver for installation.

Advantages

The EX-1596HMVS combines industrial-grade metal housing with broad voltage support for reliable operation in harsh environments. Its six downstream USB 2.0 ports provide instant expansion of peripheral connections while maintaining full compatibility with legacy USB 1.1 devices. The pluggable DC terminal simplifies installation. Built-in management utilities allow per-port bus power on/off control, hub reset, and saving of designated power states to internal flash for automatic recall on next power-up. Software tools are provided for Windows and various Linux platforms (x86 and ARM) and include GUI and command-line interfaces as well as APIs usable from languages such as C#, C++, VB, Python, and PHP.

Suitable for

• Industrial and embedded systems requiring multiple USB peripherals
• Machine control panels and data acquisition stations
• Deployments needing adjustable power control and remote reset of USB devices

How to use

Connect the hub to the host system using the USB 2.0 Type-B upstream connector. Attach downstream USB devices to the six screw-type ports and secure them as required. Provide DC power within the specified +7 V to +48 V range using the pluggable terminal block; no screwdriver is needed to plug the connector. Install the supplied management utilities on the host (Windows or supported Linux) to control per-port bus power, perform hub resets, and save or restore saved power states. For integration into custom applications, use the provided command-line tools or available APIs compatible with common programming languages.

Usage recommendations

Use a regulated DC power source within the specified voltage range and ensure proper grounding in industrial environments. Install manufacturer-provided utilities for safe power cycling and for storing preferred power states. When deploying in vibration-prone settings, verify that connected devices and their screw-type connectors are properly secured.
