B&B USB 2.0 HUB, 4 PORT UH104 – Industrial-Grade 4-Port USB Hub for High-Vibration Environments

This description showcases the B&B UH104, a compact, industrial-grade four-port USB 2.0 hub designed to deliver reliable connectivity where it matters most. Built for demanding applications, the UH104 combines a small footprint with rugged construction to keep devices connected in environments with significant motion, vibration, or shock. Whether you’re outfitting automation panels, field service equipment, or data-collection stations, this hub provides stable, true plug-and-play USB expansion without compromising on performance. It’s the dependable choice for teams that require consistent data transfer, quick device access, and a durable USB hub you can rely on in harsh operating conditions.

• Industrial-grade four-port USB 2.0 hub: A compact, purpose-built solution that adds four USB 2.0 ports to your system, enabling easy expansion of peripherals such as keyboards, mice, flash drives, sensors, and control devices without cluttering your workspace or control panel.
• High-retention connectors for rugged reliability: The UH104 uses high-retention USB connectors that resist loosening in high-vibration applications. They require up to 3.4 lbs-force to disconnect, ensuring a secure connection even in moving machinery, portable equipment, or vehicles where standard connectors might loosen over time.
• True plug-and-play compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with standard USB cables and devices. Simply connect the hub to your host computer, and it should be ready for immediate use with compatible USB peripherals, reducing setup time and downtime on busy production floors.
• Reliable USB 2.0 performance in rugged settings: While compact, the UH104 delivers high-speed, reliable data transfer across all four ports, supporting USB 2.0 specifications and typical transfer rates up to 480 Mbps. It provides steady operation for data-heavy peripherals without compromising device responsiveness.
• Versatile, space-saving solution for harsh environments: Ideal for manufacturing lines, robotics, instrumentation, and field equipment where space is at a premium and connection integrity is critical. Its rugged design and tight connection reduce maintenance needs and minimize the risk of intermittent disconnections during critical operations.
