## Summary description

This StarTech 7-port industrial USB hub (HB31C5A2CME) provides five USB-A and two USB-C downstream ports with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) throughput. Housed in a steel, mountable enclosure, it includes ESD protection and an external DC power adapter (100–240 V input) for stable powered operation. Designed for industrial and commercial setups, it supports high-speed data transfers and secure device connections where ruggedness and reliable power are required.

## Long description

The 7-Port Industrial USB 3.2 (10Gbps) Hub converts a single USB-C connection into seven external, wall-mountable high-speed ports (5x USB-A and 2x USB-C). Housed in a durable all-metal enclosure with Level-4 ESD protection (15kV air / 8kV contact), the hub is designed for harsh or industrial environments. It includes two 1m USB cables (USB-C to C and USB-C to A) with screw-lock connectors to prevent accidental disconnection and supports multiple mounting options including surface, wall, under-desk, or DIN rail installation.
Advantages
The hub provides full 10Gbps data transfer on all downstream ports and is backwards compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps), USB 2.0 and USB 1.x devices, making it suitable for SSDs, NVMe enclosures, RAID arrays, and 3D printers/scanners. It can be powered via the included universal power adapter or a 7–24V DC terminal block for flexible industrial deployment. When not connected to a host, the unit operates as a dedicated charging station (BC1.2/DCP), delivering up to 2.4A per port with a total power budget of 40W (8A). Mounting ears and included DIN clips provide secure installation and the metal housing offers enhanced protection and surge resistance.

How to use
Connect the hub to a host using the included USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to USB-A cable and secure the connector with the screw-lock to prevent accidental disconnects. Alternatively, power the hub via the included universal adapter or wire the 7–24V DC terminal block for industrial power sources. Attach devices to any of the seven downstream ports for data transfer or charging. When not connected to a host, the hub will function as a charging station and provide BC1.2/DCP charging to attached devices. Use the mounting ears or DIN clips to install the hub on a wall, under a desk or on a DIN rail for a secure setup.
Recommendations
For best performance with high-bandwidth devices (SSDs, NVMe enclosures, RAID units), use USB 3.2 Gen 2–capable cables and ensure the host supports USB 3.2 Gen 2. In industrial installations, secure power via the DC terminal block and verify grounding to maintain ESD protection effectiveness.
