Using the Acroname Programmable USB 2x4 hub as a software accessible USB switch between two hosts
How to Accomplish a Host Switch With the USBHub2x4
Often a simple USB switch with a physical button is used to switch USB devices between two different host computers. In many cases it would be nice to execute the host switch without physically pushing a button on the device. The Acroname Programmable USBHub2x4 hub allows a user to switch hosts programmatically without pushing a button.
How many Acroname USBHub3+ Hubs can I daisy-chain?
Daisy Chain Acroname USB Hubs
Customers often ask how many Acroname USBHub3+ hubs can be daisy-chained.
The answer is pretty simple: four.
However, getting there requires some understanding of the USB specification and the internal topology of Acroname hubs. Also, by following our suggested configuration, customers can maximize access to one of the most useful features of Acroname products: fully programmable USB ports.

Expand Hub Functionality with BrainStem API
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.
How to Turn On or Off USB Remotely via Software (No Unplugging)
Connecting and Disconnecting USB Device Power
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.
How Many USB Devices Can I Connect?
Adding more than two USBHub3+ hubs
Some customers who have been using multiple Acroname USBHub3+ hubs have shared with us that they cannot add more than two USBHub3+ hubs to their system or that they need more USB resources. As it happens, this is not a limitation of USBHub3+ itself, but rather a limitation of the host USB controller and the host machine's implementation of the USB controller.
Is your USB Hub reliable?
At Acroname, we take ESD seriously.
We recently partnered with the team at Pragma Design (https://pragma-design.com), a leader in ESD analysis and solutions, to improve ESD event handling of the USBHub3+ 8-port Programmable USB 3.0 Hub.
Pragma Design's advanced current reconstruction mapping technology is shown here, visually illustrating energy dissipation from a direct ESD discharge event to one of the ports on USBHub3+:
