## Long description

The StarTech.com 16-Port Industrial USB 3.0 Hub provides a robust and reliable solution for expanding connectivity in demanding professional and industrial environments. Engineered with a durable steel housing, this hub supports high-speed data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps across 16 USB-A ports. It features a versatile design that accommodates dual-host switching, allowing seamless toggling between two connected computers, and includes advanced ESD protection to safeguard sensitive equipment from static discharge.
Advantages
This industrial-grade hub is built to withstand rigorous use, featuring a rugged metal chassis that protects internal components from physical impact. The inclusion of Level 4 ESD protection ensures operational stability in environments prone to static electricity. With its flexible mounting capabilities, including DIN rail, surface, and 1U rackmount options, it integrates easily into diverse infrastructure setups. The dual-host functionality simplifies device management by allowing two host systems to share the same peripheral set, while the support for BC 1.2 charging provides efficient power delivery to connected devices.
Suitable for
Industrial automation and control systems
Server rooms and data centers
Professional equipment setups requiring multi-port expansion
Production lines and factory environments
Workstations requiring shared access between two computers
This hub may not be suitable for consumer-grade home office setups where the industrial-grade features, such as terminal block power inputs and DIN rail mounting, are unnecessary. Additionally, it is not intended for high-power applications that exceed the 120W shared power budget across all 16 ports.
