Whether you’re swapping a failed unit, stocking a spare, or outfitting a fleet of hubs for a deploying project, this power adapter is built to keep your StarTech industrial USB hubs operating at peak performance.

What makes this adapter particularly appealing to engineers and technicians is its blend of performance, reliability, and user-friendly design. The 20VDC output is tailored to power StarTech’s industrial USB hubs, providing stable voltage under load to ensure consistent device behavior, reduced USB power fluctuations, and fewer reset events. The 3.25A current capability gives you ample headroom for hub configurations that include multiple ports, external controllers, or accessory modules. With 65W of total power, you can maintain robust performance even when hubs are handling high data throughput or simultaneous device connections. The adapter’s built-in protections guard against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits, helping to protect both the power supply and the connected hubs from electrical anomalies. In addition, the design supports hot-swap operation on compatible systems, enabling technicians to rotate or replace hubs without long downtime.

Ease of procurement and deployment is another hallmark of this power solution. The multi-tip connector system means you don’t need to stock several different bricks for different hub models—the same adapter can service multiple devices, simplifying inventory management and reducing clutter on workbenches or in equipment racks. The included tips accommodate a range of center-pin and barrel configurations, allowing quick adaptation to supported devices. This feature is especially valuable in environments where equipment standards evolve or where a single supplier supports a suite of devices across a site. The overall build quality, including high-grade connectors and shielded cables, helps resist wear and tear in busy industrial settings where cables are frequently connected, disconnected, or walked past by maintenance personnel.

Mobility and serviceability are enhanced by thoughtful design choices. The adapter uses a detachable DC cable with a secure locking interface to help prevent accidental disconnections during operation. The power brick remains compact and portable, so technicians can carry spares in toolkits or service carts. When a device is powered from this adapter, the LED indicator provides a quick visual confirmation of operational status, allowing for rapid troubleshooting during routine maintenance or in the event of a fault. The combination of universal AC input, a precise 20V output, and adaptable tips means this power supply is a practical, long-term investment for facilities that rely on StarTech industrial USB hubs and related equipment.

For organizations focused on efficiency, safety, and predictable performance, this adapter helps streamline procurement, maintenance, and deployment. Its compatibility with StarTech’s industrial USB hubs means you’re investing in a supplier with a proven track record of reliability in harsh or demanding environments. The unit’s design also lends itself to asset customization programs, where IT or OT teams standardize on a single power solution for a wide range of devices. And because StarTech products are widely supported by technical documentation and customer service resources, you’ll have access to setup guides, troubleshooting tips, and warranty information should you need them—further reducing downtime and ensuring that your deployments stay on track.

How to install StarTech.com Universal DC Power Adapter for Industrial USBHubs

Follow these steps to install the adapter quickly and safely, minimizing downtime and ensuring optimal hub performance:

• Power down the StarTech industrial USB hub and, if applicable, any equipment connected to it. Disconnect the device from any existing power source to prevent accidental energization during installation.
• Choose the appropriate interchangeable tip from the included tip kit that matches the hub’s DC input connector. Ensure a snug fit by aligning polarity and connector geometry according to the tip instructions.
• Attach the chosen tip firmly to the detachable DC cable and secure the connection at the hub’s DC input jack. Double-check that the tip is seated correctly and locked if your model uses a locking mechanism.
• Connect the detachable DC cable to the StarTech universal power brick. Then plug the power brick into a properly grounded AC outlet within the 100–240 V range. Avoid daisy-chaining power through other devices to maintain clean power delivery.
• Power on the hub and observe the LED indicator on the adapter. If the LED shows solid power and the hub initializes normally, the installation is complete. If an error state is indicated, verify tip compatibility, ensure the hub’s power requirements align with the adapter’s specifications, and check for any external load that could exceed the adapter’s 3.25A current limit.
