A four-port USB hub that mounts in a 3.5” drive bay has been introduced by ACCES I/O Products. Alongside extended temperature operation from -40 to +85°C, the USB-3.5-HUB features high retention USB connectors and an industrial steel drive bay mounting bracket for shock and vibration mitigation.

The 3.5″ front panel drive bay mounting provision allows for easy installation in rack-mount industrial and military grade style chassis, as well as in home or office PCs. With the high retention type A USB connectors, the hub allows users to add USB-based I/O or peripherals to their embedded systems.

Powered by the Berg connector fed from the PC power supply, the USB-3.5-HUB can provide a full 500mA source at 5V on each of the downstream ports. Accessories include embedded OEM USB cables for connecting to an available host USB port on the user’s motherboard, and a power splitter cable for when the Berg connector is already being used.

No driver installation is required for the USB-3.5-HUB. Any USB compliant OS will automatically install it. The device will enumerate as a Generic Hub which uses the USB Hub Class Driver that is built into USB compliant OSs such as Linux and Windows.
