The USB 3.0‑Hub Industry from Wiesemann & Theis expands a single USB port into four full USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connections and is optimized for use in demanding industrial environments. With a maximum transfer rate of 5 Gbps, rugged DIN rail mounting, and multi‑TT architecture, it delivers peak performance for Industry 4.0, automation projects, and control engineering.

The hub supports all common USB versions (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0) and provides up to 900 mA per port—ideal for power‑hungry devices such as high‑speed cameras or fast storage drives.

Industrial design and enhanced EMC immunity

Designed for use in EMC‑intensive environments, the USB 3.0‑Hub is certified to EN 61000‑6‑2. Its robust housing, designed for DIN rail mounting, offers:

• Secure installation in control cabinets
• Vibration and shock resistance
• Quick integration into existing systems

The operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C allows deployment in varied industrial environments—from climate‑controlled control rooms to production halls.

Multi‑TT architecture for maximum speed

Thanks to multi‑transaction‑translator technology, each port has its own transfer management. This allows full SuperSpeed data rates (5 Gbps) to be maintained even when devices of different USB generations are used simultaneously.

Interface overview

• 1× upstream port: USB 3.0 Type B – connection to host (industrial PC, PLC, controller)
• 4× downstream ports: USB 3.0 Type A – up to 900 mA load per port
• Compatible with: USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0
• Maximum rate: 5 Gbps

Power supply and energy efficiency

External power is supplied via 24 V DC—standardized for industrial applications—through a pluggable screw terminal. The port‑power‑management ensures:

• Overload and short‑circuit protection
• Optimized energy distribution
• Automatic shutdown of unused ports

Plug‑and‑play across all platforms

The USB 3.0‑Hub Industry works without driver installation on:

• Windows (98 to Server 2008, x86/x64)
• Mac OS (version 8 to X)
• Linux (from kernel 2.4.0)

This minimizes configuration effort and allows immediate deployment.

Standards and certification

Complies with international standards:

• EN 61000‑6‑2 – Industrial immunity
• EN 55032:2015 + A1 Class B – Emissions
• EN 61000‑3‑2 / EN 61000‑3‑3 – Power quality compatibility

Holds CE and UL certifications and is designed for 24/7 continuous operation. Wiesemann & Theis provides a five‑year warranty.

Typical applications

• Quality control: Connecting multiple USB 3.0 cameras for high‑resolution inspection.
• Automation: Linking controllers with fast storage modules for production data.
• Data acquisition: Fast connection of sensors for real‑time environmental measurements.
• Data analysis: USB peripherals for big‑data collection in networked production systems.

Maximum data rates for industrial applications

The USB 3.0‑Hub Industry from Wiesemann & Theis combines multi‑TT technology, rugged DIN rail mounting, and energy‑efficient port‑power management. With four powerful SuperSpeed ports, 900 mA per port, and 24 V DC industrial power, it is the ideal choice for data‑intensive industrial applications in Industry 4.0 and automation environments.
