Black Box IC147A-R3 USB 2.0 Hub
Overview
The Black Box IC147A-R3 is a compact, 4-port USB 2.0 hub designed to expand connectivity options for devices requiring USB interfaces. It features four standard USB Type-A female ports for peripherals and one USB Mini Type-B female port for upstream connection to a host system. This hub is suitable for environments where additional USB ports are needed for connecting devices like IP cameras, barcode scanners, or other USB-powered accessories to a computer or NVR.
Compatibility
This USB 2.0 hub is compatible with any host system supporting USB 2.0 standards, including Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. It is designed to work with a wide range of USB devices, including but not limited to, USB webcams, external hard drives, keyboards, mice, and USB-based network adapters. For surveillance applications, it can be used to connect USB dongles for Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity to network video recorders (NVRs) or edge devices.
Installation Notes
Connect the hub to the host system using a USB Mini Type-B to Type-A cable (not included). Ensure the host system's USB port supports USB 2.0 speeds for optimal performance. The hub draws power from the host USB connection; ensure the host port can supply sufficient power for all connected devices. For demanding peripherals, consider using a powered USB host port or a USB hub with external power capabilities if available.
