The USBHub3+ can set each of its downstream ports to several power modes to support a range of devices.
The supported modes are part of BC1.2 USB charging specification:
The USBHub3c from Acroname is also capable of being used as a power delivery analyzer. The backbone of the PD analysis is Acroname’s HubTool. HubTool allows complete control over nearly all power features within the hub.
Acroname's hubs are a robust hardware solution to many common usb related tasks: remotely simulating a manual plug-cycle, charging (or not charging) batteries on connected devices, and switching control between two host computers.
The problem USB devices often need to be disconnected and reconnected (plug-cycled) or reset. The reasons for plug-cycling a USB device are as varied as types of USB devices themselves. In service, the simplest solution to many USB-related problems is to reset the errant host machine or USB device.
