Connecting to a Self-Powered USB Hub
Self-powered USB hubs are USB hubs that are powered by their own
external power supply. You can connect multiple USB hubs to a USB
port on the host computer. Each of these hubs supports multiple
KUSB-3160 modules.

Belken hubs are known to work properly with the
KUSB-3160 modules.
To connect a KUSB-3160 module to a self-powered USB hub, perform
the following steps:
1.
Attach one end of the USB cable to the KUSB-3160 module and
the other end of the USB cable to a self-powered USB hub.

Connect the power supply for the self-powered USB hub to an
external power supply.
3.
Connect the hub to the USB port on the host computer using
