CatX vs USB Over IPUSB was designed around the PC: it was intended to connect nearby peripherals to a host computer.  Because of this focus on the desktop environment, the maximum passive cable lengths are relatively short, from 5 m for USB 2.0, down to 1 m for USB 3.2 Gen 2 and higher…

Eliminating AC/DC Wall Adapters for Low-Power Devices Using the Acroname USBHub3c The need for more efficient, space-saving, and simplified power solutions is rising in today's increasingly connected world. Many devices, especially in the industrial, medical, and consumer electronics markets, rely…

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a widely adopted interface standard for connecting devices to computers, enabling the transfer of data, power, and communication between devices. The USB protocol is a set of rules and standards that govern device communication over a USB connection, making it…

Introduction This case study presents how an automotive supplier was able to automate firmware and OS provisioning and End-of-Line (EOL) functional final assembly testing using Acroname industrial USB hubs and switches and their USB Host switching features.  This automation resulted in…

Host Ports on an Industrial USB Hub In modern manufacturing environments, devices often rely on local USB storage for configuration and firmware updates, data logging, and backup. It is often necessary to update or process this data by connecting the drives to another host, usually by manually…

Enhancing Production Efficiency with Batch ICP In device manufacturing, firmware is flashed onto devices using in-circuit programmers (ICPs).  automated batch programming can help remove the ICP bottleneck.  In this application note, we'll look at how to use USB port switching with…

I. INTRODUCTION This case study demonstrates how a device lab resolved its USB issues using Acroname’s industrial USB hubs, making the lab more robust and ready to accommodate future expansion. Hardware device labs need reliable equipment. Often, these labs develop in an ad hoc manner, adding…

Introduction Mobile devices are built to maximize how long they can run between charges by topping off the battery when connected to power.  However, in mobile device and Continuous Integration (CI) labs, where hundreds of devices need continuous USB data connections, this presents a…
