Pegasus Astro – USB Control Hub (in short UCH)
A SuperSpeed (SS), low power, switchable USB3.1 Gen1 hub and fully compliant with USB-IF’s USB 3.1 Gen1 specification . The Hub supports Hi-Speed (HS), Full Speed (FS) and Low Speed (LS). The new SuperSpeed hubs operate in parallel with the USB 2.0 controller, so 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfers are not affected by slower USB 2.0 traffic.
6 x USB3.1 Active Ports
Device has 6 x USB 3.1 Ports. Each port can deliver up to 2.5Amp of current. There is a smart current limit sensor in every port which automatically limits or cuts power in case of a short-wire or power consumption that is above 2.5Amps. Each port is monitored by the USB Controller and in case of a current limit, it triggers a warning popup in the operating system.
Aluminium Enclosure
A high quality robust, blue anodised aluminium enclosure houses the electronics of the USB HUB. The metal enclosure designed and tested to survive ±5kV ESD strikes.
Switchable USB Ports
Each USB port can be controlled and switched ON/OFF by standalone software (power + data). You are going to love this feature. No more pull out and re-plug USB cables of your equipment.
12V DC Operation
The 12V DC operation was the first design requirement. As most of your astro-equipment work with 12V DC why to use something different? Hub accepts 12-14V of operation. This means that you can plug unregulated 12V power from a battery.
Industrial grade temperature support
Most USB Hubs in the market (well…nearly all of them) can operate under room temperatures as they were design in mind to work inside your home. This is why you might experience USB disconnects and instability during a cold night. This product is certified to work flawlessly from −40°C to +85°C. The USB Hub chip has been selected to support Industrial grade temperature ranges.
ASCOM Switch support
Device fully supports ASCOM switch. This means that you can switch ON/OFF each USB port via ASCOM supported software.
Expansion Port (EXT)
A RJ12 external ports allows future device expansion
Standalone Software
Switch ON/OFF USB Ports on demand. Monitor USB Voltage levels. Easily name each USB port based on the device that is attached on it
