USBHub3c gives developers and engineers full control to validate, control, and test the limits of devices built on the Power Delivery and USB-C specification.
USB-C Auto-Switching Hub - For managed and unmanaged conference rooms.
If you’ve ever needed to share video and audio equipment seamlessly in a modern conference room, you know it can be confusing. As more people bring their own devices (BYOD) to work or to the conference room, it’s important for switching between these devices to be easy and simple.
For companies large and small, every minute of the meeting you waste trying to get the conference room tech figured out is money that you’re wasting.
Stop wasting that time. With Acroname’s USBHub3c Host Switching Hub, we make the user connection process simple and easy.
- Automatically give a laptop access to in-room USB peripherals just by plugging into the Acroname USB hub. Thanks to Acroname’s auto-switching technology, when a user’s host device (laptop) is plugged into the USBHub3c host port 0, any USB peripherals plugged into the USBHub3c will then automatically switch to and be accessible to that user’s host device.
- Switch instantly back to the default conference room host device when you disconnect a presenter's laptop. Once the BYOD presenter disconnects their laptop from the Acroname Host Switching Hub, peripherals are then automatically switched back to the in-room host (Microsoft Teams Rooms, MTR, or Zoom Rooms computer)
- Connect up to 5 USB peripherals. Microphones, cameras, keyboards, mice, whatever you need. Acroname’s 5-port hub allows you lots of options to connect the peripherals you need in your conference room.
When compared to our USBHub3+ A/V Hub, the USBHub3c offers the following advantages:
- AnyPort™ - The AnyPort™ feature allows you to use any port on the hub for an upstream (host) connection or a downstream (peripheral) connection. This allows you to configure the hub in multiple ways between the number of host device connections and peripheral device connections.
- RS-232 Control Option - When you need to send commands to the hub to switch between host devices manually, we offer an RS-232 option for control with popular AV control systems.
- Host Device (Laptop) charging - The USBHub3c will automatically charge laptops that are connected to the hub even when a laptop is being used to present. The charging time and the number of laptops that can be charged at the same time varies based on the power supply you have connected to the hub. The Pro Version has the capability to charge up to 5 laptops simultaneously with an optional power supply.
- 10Gbps - The USBHub3c has an increased bandwidth throughout of 10Gbps and can support USB 3.2 connection with HD and ultra-HD 8k cameras and displays.
Acroname’s USBHub3c is an excellent choice for the auto-switching of host devices in unmanaged conference rooms or for manual host device switching in managed conference rooms. It also offers powerful device charging capabilities.
