Product Information

Full details

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer rate for this hub?

The hub supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1) data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps per port.

Does this hub require external power?

Yes, an external power supply is included and required for stable operation, especially when connecting multiple or power-hungry USB devices.

Can I use this hub with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices?

Yes, the hub is backward compatible and will work with USB 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 devices, though at their respective slower speeds. It supports MTT technology for enhanced USB 1.1 performance.

What is MTT technology?

MTT stands for Multiple Transaction Translator. It's a technology that allows USB 1.1 devices to achieve higher throughput by managing transactions more efficiently, especially when multiple USB 1.1 devices are connected.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Lindy 4 Port USB 3.0 Metal Hub comes with a 2-year warranty.

Can I mount this hub securely?

Yes, the hub features integrated mounting brackets specifically designed for secure installation in industrial or fixed environments.

What kind of protection do the USB ports have?

Each port on the hub features individual short circuit protection to safeguard connected devices and the hub itself.

Troubleshooting

Hub not recognized by computer

Ensure both the USB host cable and the power adapter are securely connected. Try a different USB port on your computer and confirm the LED indicators are lit. Restart your computer.

Connected USB devices are not working or are unstable

Verify that the external power adapter is connected and providing power. Check individual USB cables for damage. Try connecting devices one at a time to identify if a specific device or port is causing issues. Ensure devices are compatible with USB 3.0 speeds.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm you are using a USB 3.0 port on both the host computer and the hub. Ensure the connected USB device also supports USB 3.0 speeds. Check that the connected USB 3.0 cable is rated for USB 3.0 speeds (typically blue or marked SS). If using older USB 1.1 devices, MTT technology is active, but overall speed is limited by the USB 1.1 standard.

LED indicators are not lighting up

Check the power connection to the hub and the wall outlet. Ensure the power adapter is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, contact support.
