USB Hub StarTech.com 5G4AINDRM-USB-A-HUB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B 5000 Mbit/s Black

The StarTech.com 5G4AINDRM-USB-A-HUB is a managed 4-port USB hub that connects up to four USB Type-A devices to a host using a USB Type-B upstream port. It supports SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) data transfer, features a heavy-duty metal enclosure for industrial and commercial environments, and offers flexible power input and mounting options appropriate for factories, warehouses, offices and similar settings.

Advantages

This managed hub lets administrators enable or disable individual ports, reboot the hub, set access passwords and save port states using the USB Hub Administrator Software. The rugged metal housing provides mechanical protection and Level-4 ESD protection (15 kV air, 8 kV contact). Wide-range terminal-block power input (+7 to +48 V DC) and USB Battery Charging 1.2 support (up to 1.5 A on three downstream ports when external power is connected) increase deployment flexibility. The hub supports multiple operating systems and can be monitored with the StarTech.com Connectivity Tools utility for USB event logging.

Suitable for

• Industrial control rooms and factory floors
• Warehouse and logistics workstations
• IT closets and server rooms for peripheral management
• Office environments where controlled USB access is required

How to use

Install the USB Hub Administrator Software on the host computer to manage the hub’s ports and settings. Connect the hub to the host via the Type-B upstream port and attach downstream USB Type-A devices. For charging or maximum performance, connect a compatible external power source to the terminal block input (+7 to +48 V DC). Use the software to enable or disable ports, reboot the hub, set a password, save port configurations, or issue CLI commands for scripted control. For USB event logging and additional utilities, install the StarTech.com Connectivity Tools application.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in industrial deployments, use a regulated external power adapter that meets the hub’s voltage requirements (StarTech part ITB20D3250 sold separately), mount the hub using the provided brackets or DIN rail adapter, and install the USB Hub Administrator Software on the host to control and monitor connected devices.
