2. Your MC14-2.4A at a glance

The MC14-2.4A has been designed primarily for desktop use, being highly compact and quiet. It
provides 12W of charging power to each of its 14 USB 2.0 Type-A ports, allowing mobile devices
to be charged quickly, safely and reliably. All ports can be controlled using Cambrionix software
to allow charging and/or data transfer while monitoring important port and device information.

The MC14-2.4A can charge attached USB devices without using a local computer and our
intelligent charging algorithm allows almost any device to be charged at its optimum rate (up to
2.4A). The firmware can be up-dated to allow new charging profiles to be added, ensuring the
MC14-2.4A can charge the latest devices. It is ready to charge out-of-the-box and to sync
devices when attached to a host computer.
