Black Box ICI202A Industrial 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Isolation and Mounting Options

Black Box Industrial USB 2.0 Hub with Isolation - 4-Port

The Black Box ICI202A Industrial USB 2.0 Hub with Isolation is designed for demanding environments where reliable USB connectivity is essential. Housed in a durable, IP30-rated metal enclosure, this hub provides robust protection against physical and electrical interference, making it ideal for factory automation, utility management, engineering, and healthcare settings. Its rugged construction ensures operation under challenging conditions, including wide temperature ranges from -40°F to +176°F, and it has been tested for 50G shock and 4g vibration, confirming its resilience in high-vibration environments. The hub supports full-speed (12 Mbps) USB 2.0 communication and maintains compatibility with USB 1.1 devices, enabling seamless integration with existing peripherals.

Designed for industrial applications, the hub offers 4-kV isolation between the upstream and downstream ports, effectively preventing ground loop issues and protecting sensitive connected devices from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The high electrostatic discharge protection (Level 4, 15 kV) adds an extra layer of safeguarding, ensuring long-term operational stability. Additionally, high-retention ports keep USB cables firmly connected, even in environments with significant vibration or movement. The hub supports external power input via a locking barrel plug or terminal block, providing up to 500 mA per port, suitable for powering a range of industrial USB peripherals.

Installation versatility is a key feature, with included hardware for panel mounting, DIN rail mounting, and a 6-foot USB Type A to Type B cable for straightforward setup. The device is UL® listed for use in Class 1 Division 2 hazardous areas, ensuring compliance with safety standards in potentially explosive atmospheres. Its compact external form factor makes it suitable for use in tight spaces, such as medical carts or control cabinets, where reliable data transfer and device security are critical. With a limited 5-year warranty and TAA compliance, the Black Box ICI202A offers a durable, versatile solution for industrial USB connectivity needs in harsh environments.
