FAQs
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this hub?
The hub supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2) speeds, which allow for data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps. However, actual speeds depend on the host computer's capabilities and the connected USB devices.
Does this hub come with any USB cables?
No, USB cables are not included with this hub. You will need to supply your own USB Type-A and USB Type-C cables compatible with your devices and the desired transfer speeds.
Can I use this hub with USB 2.0 or 3.0 devices?
Yes, the hub is backward compatible. USB 3.0, 3.1 Gen 1, and 3.2 Gen 1 devices will operate at their respective maximum speeds (up to 5 Gbps). USB 2.0 devices will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.
How do I power the hub?
The hub can be powered either by the included AC adapter or via the terminal block port for a more integrated installation. Both methods ensure a stable power supply for the connected devices.
What does 'individual short circuit protection' mean?
It means that if one connected USB port experiences a short circuit, it will be isolated, preventing damage to other ports, connected devices, or the hub itself. The other ports will continue to function.
Is the metal housing important for performance?
Yes, the robust metal housing provides excellent durability and protection against electromagnetic interference (EMC), which is crucial for maintaining stable, high-speed data transfer in industrial or electronically noisy environments.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Lindy 4 Port USB 3.2 Metal Hub comes with a 2-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
Hub not recognized by computer
Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the hub and the host computer. Verify that the power adapter is connected and the hub is powered on. Try a different USB port on the host computer or a different USB Type-C cable.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm that both the host computer's port and the connected USB device support USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps). Ensure you are using compatible USB 3.2 Gen 2 cables. Check for any background processes consuming system resources.
Connected USB devices not powering on or charging
Verify that the external power supply is connected to the hub. Ensure the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the hub's 17.5W total charging capacity. Check for individual short circuit protection alerts.
Intermittent connection drops
Check all cable connections for security. Ensure the hub has a stable power supply. Test with fewer devices connected to rule out power draw issues. Ensure the operating environment does not have excessive electromagnetic interference.
