USB-hub Exsys EX-11214HMVS — 4-poorts metalen hub met 15 kV ESD-beveiliging

Exsys EX-11214HMVS is a compact 4-port USB hub in a metal housing that extends a computer's USB connectivity while offering integrated electrostatic discharge protection. The hub supplies four downstream USB ports for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, external drives or barcode scanners. Its robust metal enclosure and built-in 15 kV ESD protection reduce the risk of damage from static electricity in office, workshop, retail or light industrial environments.

Advantages

The metal housing improves durability and heat dissipation compared with plastic enclosures, while the small footprint allows convenient placement on a desk or mounting in confined spaces. Integrated 15 kV ESD protection helps safeguard connected devices and the host port against electrostatic discharge events. The four downstream ports provide immediate expansion of USB connectivity without requiring additional drivers on most modern operating systems.

Suitable for

• Expanding USB ports on office PCs and laptops
• Connecting input devices (keyboard, mouse) and peripherals at a workstation
• Retail point-of-sale systems and barcode scanner connectivity
• Workshops and light industrial areas where ESD protection is desirable
• Temporary setups where a compact, durable USB hub is needed

Key specifications

• Ports: 4 downstream USB ports
• Housing: metal enclosure for improved durability
• ESD protection: integrated electrostatic discharge protection rated to 15 kV
• Interface type: USB hub connectivity for standard USB peripherals
• Power: bus-powered from host USB port (no separate power supply included)
• Mounting/placement: compact footprint suitable for desktop placement or limited-space mounting

How to use

Connect the hub's upstream cable to an available USB port on the host computer. After the host recognizes the device, connect keyboards, mice, storage drives or other USB peripherals to any of the four downstream ports. For devices with higher power requirements, use self-powered peripherals or an externally powered hub, since the hub is intended to be bus-powered from the host. Position the metal-housed hub on a stable surface and avoid exposure to liquids or extreme temperatures.

Recommendations

Place the hub close to the host computer to limit cable strain, and connect high-draw devices (such as external hard drives) selectively to a powered USB port if excessive power draw is observed. Regularly inspect cables and connectors for wear to maintain reliable ESD protection and device connectivity.
