4-Port USB 3.1 Gen 2 USB Hub with Metal Housing Stands Up in Tough Environments

The Tripp Lite U460-2A2C-IND is a four-port USB hub with a heavy-duty metal housing designed to withstand harsh physical conditions in industrial and commercial settings, such as factories, construction sites, supply rooms and warehouses. The industrial-grade hub connects to your computer, laptop, tablet, MacBook, Ultrabook, Chromebook or notebook’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port to provide two additional USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. Connect as many as four USB devices, including flash drives, tablets, smartphones, external hard drives, printers, barcode scanners and digital cameras.

Transfers Data at Lightning-Fast USB 3.1 Gen 2 Speeds and Charges Mobile Devices

The two USB-C and two USB-A ports transfer data at speeds up to 10 Gbps, which is twice as fast as USB 3.1 Gen 1. In addition to accepting USB peripherals, all four ports provide up to 0.9 amps each for charging and powering mobile devices simultaneously. Because the ports are BC 1.2-compliant, they can also deliver up to 2 amps of fast-charging power to mobile devices (when connected to power).

Typical Applications

  • Connect up to 4 USB devices to your PC, laptop, tablet, MacBook, Ultrabook or Chromebook’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port
  • Add easy-to-access USB ports to desktop computers that are in a cabinet, behind furniture or otherwise hard to reach
  • Mount to a wall in a harsh environment, such as a factory, construction site, supply room or warehouse

Supports Locking Connectors to Prevent Devices from Becoming Dislodged

The hub’s USB-C ports, including the host port, support USB cables with locking plugs that can help prevent connected devices and peripherals from accidentally coming loose. All USB-C and USB-A ports are backward compatible with previous USB generations, so you can continue using older peripherals while getting high-speed performance from new devices. Green LEDs indicate when devices are connected to each port.

Protects Your Devices against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Overcurrent

Machines on the shop floor can generate electrostatic discharges capable of wiping out data and damaging sensitive electronics. This four-port hub includes ESD protection to ±15 kV, reducing potential static damage to your connected peripherals. This feature works in tandem with ±2.5kV-per-port overcurrent protection to safeguard your connected devices against damage and data loss from power surges.

Reversible USB-C Cable Connects in Either Direction

Connect the included two-foot USB-C cable between your source device’s USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port and the hub’s host port. The fumble-free USB-C plugs connect in either direction to ensure fast, easy connection every time.
