Newnex, a leading developer of USB connectivity, has announced the FireNEXTM-uHUB-10G, a 10Gbps industrial grade USB-C hub that provides up to 100W Power Delivery. This new hub is designed to meet the needs of expanding USB 10Gbps connectivity in a harsh environment and supports rapid charging through USB PD protocol. FireNEXTM-uHUB-10G comes with 1 upstream USB-C port with PD support up to 100W and 5 downstream ports (three USB-C, two USB-A) that support data transfer rates of up to USB 3.1 Gen 2 at 10Gbps, while also maintaining full support of lower USB data rates such as USB 3.0 at 5Gbps, USB 2.0 and 1.1. The hub also comes with 2 extra downstream USB 2.0 ports for users to easily add in a couple of USB 2.0 peripherals, such as a keyboard and mouse. All of the 10Gbps ports are fully compliant with the industrial standard locking specification that supports both dual and single screw locking to ensure more secure interconnections.

This is the upstream side of the FireNEXTM-uHUB-10G with the additional downstream USB 2.0 ports.

This is the downstream side of the FireNEXTM-uHUB-10G with the 3 USB-C and 2 USB-A downstream ports.

FireNEXTM-uHUB-10G fully supports USB Power Delivery 3.0, uniquely providing USB PD in both upstream and downstream directions. With sufficient power supply, the hub can charge the host computer, such as a laptop, via the upstream USB-C port up to 100W (20V/5A) maximum and simultaneously to the device side via the downstream USB-C port up to 100W (20V/5A). Both USB PD ports are compliant with USB PD 3.0, automatically adjusting its power profile between 20V, 15V, 9V and 5V based on the devices’ needs. All USB ports come with overcurrent and ESD protection, fully protected from faulty peripherals and electric shock. To find out more about FireNEXTM-uHUB-10G, click below for more information.
