1. Description
The Binary™ 4 or 7 Port USB 3.0 Powered Hub is a perfect solution for providing additional USB 3.0 connections to any
device with a USB port available to connect to.
The connections are all backward-compatible with USB 2.0/1.1/1.0 – no incompatibility with older equipment.
A separate power supply is included to provide stable DC voltage on all USB ports. This eliminates issues with voltage to
connected devices.
An all metal chassis and integrated mounting ears allow a variety of options for placement that’s out-of-sight, but in reach
when needed. Its compact size can be a great space saver for a cluttered deck, or an easy way to add ports in a conference
room to connect speakers with ease.
This hub is also “plug-n-play” compatible, meaning it can be plugged into the computer and the driver is automatically set
up in a few moments.

2. Important Guidelines
• The USB hub is not designed to provide charging power for devices.
• Limit passive USB cables to 16 feet. Longer cables must be active type.
3. Powering the Hub
Using the external power supply is optional but highly recommended. The USB port on the computer is meant to provide
enough power for one device. If voltage drops too low, the connected devices may not function properly. Connect the power
supply to 120V AC power.
4. USB Connections
The hub is equipped with one USB “B” port for connecting the computer to the hub. When the connection is made, the
computer should auto-detect the hub and install the driver to support it. The operating system will acknowledge when the
hub is ready to be used as a ‘Generic USB Hub’ (Windows). No driver loading is required for a Mac.
After the hub is recognized by the computer, additional devices may be connected. Installation is complete.
