Sealevel Systems, Inc. iPortholes High Speed 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Battery Charging Downstream Ports and SeaLATCH Locking USB Ports HUB4PH-KT

With industrial and OEM applications increasingly adding USB devices, the need for more USB ports becomes a necessity. Sealevel offers the HUB4PH-KT, an internally powered USB 2.0 4-port hub with four Battery Charging Downstream Ports and SeaLATCH locking USB connectors. The hub is USB 2.0 compliant, providing a full 480M bps data rate to the host, and is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and 1.0 devices. The HUB4PH-KT includes a +5V power cable that sources power from a standard hard drive connector. Order the appropriate internal USB cable for your motherboard under the Accessories tab. As USB charging has gained popularity, the 500mA minimum found on other USB 2.0 hubs has become insufficient for devices requiring higher charging rates. The ports on the HUB4PH-KT are configured as a Charging Downstream Ports (CDP) capable of supplying up to 1.5A of current to each downstream device. All downstream ports are USB Battery Charging Specification BC1.2 Compliant, perfect for charging batteries or powering high-current USB peripherals.
