Thank you for purchasing this high-speed 10-port USB2.0 hub. It
provides an ideal solution to expand 10 USB2.0 ports from one
single USB2.0 host port. It provides a wide range self power
source (+5~24VDC from the 2-pin Terminal Blocks or DC Jack) to
supply enough power on USB2.0 buses.
Features:
✓Compliant with USB Specification 2.0

⚫USB2.0 Upstream Port Connector: Type-B connector from
upstream USB2.0 port. It is connected from host or another
USB2.0 hub. Supports both normal and screw-lock type USB
cables.
⚫USB2.0 Downstream Port Connectors: There are 10 Type-A
connectors for USB2.0 or USB1.1 devices. They support both
normal and screw-lock type USB cables.
⚫Self Power Input Connectors: This 2-pin (one pin plus voltage
and the other pin is GND) terminal block connector and DC
Jack are used to connect external power to self-power the
hub, the voltage can be in the range from +5V to 24V DC.
WARNING!!
Please make sure the polarity of the input power should be
correctly matched with the terminal block pins to function
properly.
1. Use static electricity discharge precautions.
Remove possible static discharge potential from any objects
that the hub may come in contact with before installation.
This can be accomplished by touching a bare metal chassis
rail after you have turned off the power.
2. Apply DC power (range from +5V to 24V) to the 2-pin
Terminal Block Connector or DC Jack. The hub was
bus-powered by the upstream USB port, and was
self-powered by either of the 2 connectors to add power to
ensure enough power for the 10 downstream ports.
3. Connecting USB Host cable: The host cable is either a
standard A-to-B USB2.0 cable or a screw-lock type A-to-B
cable. Please connect the type-A end connector of the

cable to your upstream USB port, then connect the type-B
end connector to this hub. Since the USB hub is
plug-and-play, you don’t have to turn off your host computer
when installing the hub.
Note: In some cases, you will see an error message said
the USB bus power over the current limit, please ignore this
message since the hub is hot plug and its power capacitor
will cause a very short period of current. It will NOT affect your
USB function.
4. Connect the USB devices to the downstream ports of this hub.
5. Mount your hub on the wall or DIN RAIL (with optional
mounting kit) if required.
