USB-hub Exsys EX-1170HMVS 10-poorts metaal DIN-rail met 15 kV ESD-beveiliging

The Exsys EX-1170HMVS is an industrial-grade USB hub that provides ten downstream USB ports in a robust metal housing designed for DIN-rail mounting. The unit integrates 15 kV ESD protection to reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge damage to connected devices, and its compact form factor fits neatly into control cabinets and automation racks. This hub is intended for applications where a reliable, multiport USB connection is required in harsh or electrically noisy industrial environments.

Advantages

The metal enclosure offers mechanical durability and electromagnetic shielding while the DIN-rail mounting design enables secure installation in electrical cabinets and industrial racks. Ten downstream ports allow connection of multiple peripherals without additional hubs, and the built-in 15 kV ESD protection helps safeguard sensitive electronics against static discharges. The product’s straightforward design focuses on stability and predictable behavior in continuous operation scenarios.

Suitable for

• Factory automation systems requiring multiple USB device connections
• Control cabinets and electrical panels with limited space
• Industrial PCs, PLCs and HMI systems needing peripheral expansion
• Environments with elevated risk of electrostatic discharge
• Laboratory or test benches where many USB instruments are used

Key specifications

• Number of downstream USB ports: 10
• Housing material: metal
• Mounting type: DIN-rail compatible
• Electrostatic discharge protection level: up to 15 kV
• Intended environment: industrial / control cabinet use

How to use

Mount the hub on a compatible DIN rail inside a control cabinet or enclosure and connect the upstream cable to the host USB port on your industrial PC or controller. Plug USB peripherals into the downstream ports, ensuring connectors are fully seated. Follow standard grounding and cabling best practices for industrial installations to maintain ESD protection effectiveness. Power the hub according to the system design—verify whether external power or host-supplied power is required based on connected devices and data transfer demands.

Recommendations

Place the hub within a grounded metal enclosure or cabinet and maintain proper cable routing and shielding to maximize ESD protection. Avoid locations with strong electromagnetic interference or excessive heat; verify power budgeting for multiple powered USB devices to prevent under-voltage or instability.
