1.2 Connector Layout
Figure 1
USB C Upstream Port USB C Downstream Port Self Power Input
Type-C connector from
upstream USB 3.1 port. It is
connected from host or
another USB 3.1 hub’s
downstream facing ports.
The two small 24-pin USB-C
connectors are fully
reversible-plug connectors
for USB devices and USB
cabling.
This 2-pin (one pin for
positive voltage and the
other pin is GND) terminal
block connector is used to
connect strong power to
self-power the hub; the
voltage can be in the range
from +7V to 24VDC.
1.3 Hardware Installation
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 +7V to 48V) to the 2-pin Terminal Block
Connector. The hub is bus powered by the upstream USB port (USB-C
connector), This terminal block connector is to add power to ensure enough
power for the 7 downstream ports..
3. Connecting USB Host cables: The host cable could be either a standard A-to-
B USB 3.0 cable or an optional A-to-B USB 3.0 screw-lock cable. Please

port, then insert 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.
4. Connect the USB Devices to the downstream ports of this hub.
5. Mount your hub on the wall or DIN RAIL if required. Mounting options are

In some cases, during hardware installation, you will see an error message
said that the USB Hub caused 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.
Reference Section 1.2 Hardware Installation.

Warning
Please make sure the polarity of the input power should be correctly
matched with the terminal block pins to function properly.
