The Moxa UPort 207 is an industrial-grade USB hub that expands a single USB port to seven connections. It is designed for use in industrial and mobile environments where a reliable and robust interface for multiple USB devices is required. The hub supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0 technology, enabling data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps, and is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 standards. The interface is via a USB Type-B connector, which connects to a host system, while the seven outputs are configured as USB Type-A ports to supply external devices.

Applications

The UPort 207 is particularly suitable for applications in industrial automation, mobile use, and environments with high reliability requirements for peripheral connections. It can be used, for example, in production plants, vehicle systems, or field communication, where multiple USB devices such as sensors, printers, storage devices, or industrial cameras need to be connected simultaneously. The external power supply in the range of 12 to 40 VDC makes it independent of the host system's power supply and enables flexible installation.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The hub provides a full power output of 500 mA per port, sufficient to supply even power-hungry USB devices. Power is supplied via an external power adapter, included in the delivery. The power consumption is 2.17 A at 12 VDC. Plug-and-Play functionality allows for easy installation without additional driver installation. Integrated LED diagnostics indicate the operating status of individual ports, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance.

Technology Explained Simply

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 technology ensures high data transfer rates, sufficient even for data-intensive applications. The ESD protection level 4 (15 kV air, 8 kV contact) protects the hub from static discharges, which are common in industrial environments. Additional protection measures such as EFT (Electrical Fast Transient), Surge (overvoltage protection), CS (Conducted Susceptibility), and PFMF (Power Frequency Magnetic Field) increase robustness against electromagnetic interference. Certification according to EN 55032/24 and CISPR 32, as well as FCC Part 15B Class A, ensures compliance with EMC requirements.

Compatibility and Accessories

The UPort 207 is compatible with USB 1.1- and USB 2.0-compatible devices. The included USB cable Type A to Type B is used to connect to the host system. The universal power adapter enables power supply in the voltage range of 12 to 40 VDC. The quick start guide and warranty card are also included in the delivery. The substance declaration table serves to document the materials used.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by connecting the USB cable Type A to Type B to the host computer or controller. The power adapter is connected to a suitable power source, with the voltage required to be in the range of 12 to 40 VDC. The LED indicators on the hub display the operating status.

Operational Advantages

The UPort 207 offers high reliability due to its robust construction from polycarbonate and integrated protection functions. The MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is 1,059,201 hours, indicating high operational safety over a long period. The operating temperature of 0 to 60 °C and storage temperature of -20 to 75 °C enable use in a wide range of environments. The humidity range of 5 to 95 % (non-condensing) is also suitable for industrial applications. Compliance with RoHS, CRoHS, and WEEE demonstrates the environmental compatibility of the product.

Housing and Mechanics

The housing is made of polycarbonate (PC), a robust and durable plastic that withstands mechanical stress. Dimensions are 80 × 35 × 185 mm, weight 875 g. The design is compact and allows flexible placement in various systems.

Certifications and Compliance

The hub is USB-IF Hi-Speed certified, confirming compliance with USB 2.0 specifications. EMC certifications according to EN 55032/24, CISPR 32, and FCC Part 15B Class A ensure electromagnetic compatibility. ESD protection level 4 and additional protection measures against electrical disturbances increase reliability. Compliance with RoHS, CRoHS, and WEEE ensures environmental compatibility and proper disposal.
