Installation & Operation

Connect the power supply to the respective socket on the USB hub and to a wall socket. Use the provided USB cable to connect the hub to a free USB port on your computer. Your computer will recognize the new hardware and install any required drivers automatically. Up to 7 USB devices can now be connected to the hub.

All 7 USB ports support Battery Charging 1.2. The total charging output is limited by available wattage; the unit has a maximum of 36W shared across all ports.

Please note: This product contains 2 USB 3.0 hubs, which needs to be considered if the product is deployed in a larger installation in connection with other devices.

USB is architected hierarchically: it is broken up into multiple tiers depending on how many hubs are present in the chain between a host and a device.

The host is always tier 1 and the device is always the final tier. Any other USB hub product, extender, or other inline connection between the host and the device represents at least one additional tier.

There can never be more than 7 tiers in a single USB signal chain. Beyond 7 tiers, devices will fail to enumerate with the host, meaning no communication will pass between the two components or the device may not function properly.

Lindy regularly checks and tests our product range to ensure maximum compatibility and performance. For the most up to date version of this manual, please refer to your local Lindy website, search for the relevant part number and find the manual under Downloads.
