lLow voltage drop:
1. Self-powered mode:
Max 500mA (indicated by Red power LED)
2. Bus-powered mode:
140mV/500mA, 14mV/50mA (indicated by Green
power LED)
lIndividual power switches (each port):
1. Over-current protection with current limit threshold:
500mA(Min)750mA(Typ)/1250mA(Max)
2. Turn power off in status of over-current or thermal shutdown,
save power consumption
3. Soft start for slow turn-on feature prevents high inrush currents
when initially powering capacitive loads
lReset by Upstream attachment or programmable reconfigure

Power Mode Setting
There are two power modes for USB Hub, one is the self-
powered mode and the other is Bus-powered mode. For self-
powered mode, USB Hub provides all the downstream ports
with each port DC + 5V, 500mA (max.) power supply. For the
Bus-powered mode, USB Hub only provides all four
downstream ports with DC + 5V, 100mA each port in total. In
self-powered mode please make sure that the power adapter is
well installed first and the plug of Power Adapter is inserted into
the Power Jack of the USB Hub, then connecting USB cable.
The powered mode is auto selected while you insert (or remove)
the plug of the power adapter into (or from) the power jack of
USB Hub.

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS HUB
Power Adapter
The Power Adapter attached with USB Hub is DC 5V, 2.5A (min.)
which is a minimum requirement for the device. If user needs
more power to supply the downstream port devices, user can
purchase a new power with the Spec. of DC 5V, 2.5A. The
mechanical of Power Adapter is listed in the follow figure.

INSTALLATION
Install the Hardware
A. First of all, please insert the plug of the DC 5V 2.5A power adapter
into the power jack of USB Hub
B. Connect the series-A connector (please refer to the Figure-1) of the
USB cable into the downstream port of PC USB host controller
(or ROOT hub) or one downstream port of the upper level
(parent) hub.
C. Connect the series-B connector (please refer to the Figure-2) of USB
able into the upstream port of USB Hub, the USB hub.
D. Connect the series-A connector of USB device, such as USB mouse,
USB keyboard and so on, into any one of the downstream of
USB Hub.
