## Description

4-Port Rugged Industrial USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub w 15KV ESD Immunity and metal case, Mountable 2-year limited warranty

Review: All metal case and with options on providing power, I use the terminal block. The wide range of input voltages it can handle is a plus for me. I am using this on a telescope mount and while not specifically rated for low temperatures I have used it many times below -10C. Has always been reliable and seems to be well built.
Review: A major problem with many USB hubs is back feeding power. Where the USB hub ends up sending its 5v of power upstream to a PC, KVM or etc. The upstream devices don’t want and can be damaged by the backfeed. This is particularly true for KVMs, which frequently recommend not using USB Hubs. This USB hub has worked well for me powering power hungry devices and via a KVM. The devices (including a webcam, microphone), weren’t getting enough power through the KVM to work, but do work with this powered hub. I can also say I have been using the hub for months and I has not damaged my pricy KVM. If you are looking for a high quality USB hub, you have found one.

The Tripp Lite line of USB peripherals are super high quality and as far as I can tell they are all USB spec compliant (most hubs and cables are not). Highly recommended!
