LogiLink UA0262 4-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A Active Repeater Hub 10m

The LogiLink UA0262 is a high-performance 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A active repeater hub designed to extend your connectivity range up to 10 meters. This device acts as both a hub and an active signal booster, ensuring that your peripherals maintain stable data transmission speeds even at longer distances. With its robust design and integrated repeater technology, it effectively overcomes the signal degradation typically associated with standard USB cables, making it a reliable solution for complex workstation setups or remote device management.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this hub is its active repeater functionality, which preserves signal integrity over a 10-meter span, allowing for flexible placement of your USB devices. It supports high-speed data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, ensuring efficient performance for data-intensive tasks. The inclusion of four ports allows for the simultaneous connection of multiple peripherals, while the backward compatibility ensures it works seamlessly with older USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. Furthermore, the integrated DC-jack provides an option for additional power, which is essential for energy-demanding hardware like external hard drives.

Suitable for

• Connecting peripherals in large office spaces or conference rooms
• Extending the reach of USB devices from a desktop computer
• Connecting high-power devices such as external hard drives
• Daisy-chaining multiple USB devices over longer distances

This hub may not be suitable for applications requiring extreme portability due to its 10-meter cable length and the requirement for an external power source for high-draw devices. It is also not intended for use in environments where the cable might be subjected to extreme physical stress or sharp bending, which could damage the internal repeater circuitry.

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
• Number of ports: 4
• Cable length: 10 meters
• Data transfer rate: Up to 5 Gbps
• Compatibility: Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1
• Power: Includes DC-jack for external power supply

How to use

To use the LogiLink UA0262, simply connect the USB Type-A connector to an available port on your computer. The device is plug-and-play, meaning it should be automatically recognized by most operating systems. If you are connecting power-hungry devices such as external hard drives, connect a compatible power adapter to the integrated DC-jack to ensure stable operation. Once connected, you can plug your USB peripherals into the four available ports on the hub.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your computer has a compatible USB Type-A port
• Verify if your specific peripherals require external power via the DC-jack
• Check if the 10-meter length is sufficient for your intended cable routing
• Confirm that your workspace allows for the placement of an active repeater cable

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, always use the external power supply when connecting multiple high-power devices simultaneously. Avoid bending the cable at sharp angles to maintain the integrity of the internal signal repeater components.
