Overview

Features

• 4x extended USB ports with a maximum speed of 5Gbps, switchable two inputs, sharing USB devices for two hosts.
• Industrial grade HUB chip, USB 2.0 adopts MTT technology.
• ESD protection for each USB port, preventing electric surge damage and data loss.
• Over-voltage protection, effectively preventing other high-voltage power inputs from damaging the connected devices.
• Multiple protection circuits: over-voltage, over-current, short circuit, over-temperature, reverse current, under voltage lock-out, 8KV ESD protection, filtering protection, etc.
• Industrial grade metal case, rugged & durable, with mounting holes for easy installation.

Hardware Connection

• 7~36 voltage for DC power jack and round hole power port, USB only allows 5V input.
• 4x USB output ports, maximum output current is 1.2A, exceeding this limit will trigger short circuit protection, need to remove the device to recover.
• Operating temperature range: -10 ℃ ~ 85 ℃, no condensation, this module is not waterproof.
• LED1~LED4 indicates the enumeration of each USB device, there is a USB device connected and correctly enumerated successfully, the LED is on, but some modules need software to enable before it will light up.
• The red PWR light indicates the power supply, green LED identifies the use of the USB interface.

User Guide

Expected Result

Take Raspberry Pi 4B as an example:

• Insert the module to 40PIN GPIO of Raspberry Pi 4B. Connect the USB interface of USB3.2-Gen1-HUB-4U to Raspberry PI via the USB 3.0 Adapter.
• Connect the 5V power supply to the POWER ONLY port.
• Connect USB devices to USB1-UBS4, the corresponding LED (USB1-USB4) will light up in sequence, which means the device works normally.

Working with Raspberry Pi

1. Hardware preparation

• Raspberry Pi 4B x 1
• USB3.2-Gen1-HUB-2IN-4OUT x 1
• USB 3.0 Adapter x 1 (or USB3.0 cable)
• USB 3.0 SSD x 1 (Speed varies with different SSD)

2. Configure Rasberry Pi

• Enter the Raspberry Pi terminal:
• Enter the root directory of Pi:

cd ../..

• Enter the directory of USB3.0 SSD.

cd media/pi/xxx (xxx is the name of the disk)

• Free Memory.

sudo sh -c "sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"

• Copy 2G data to the SSD disk.

dd if=/dev/zero of=./test_write count=2000 bs=1024k

• Copy 2G data to the Raspberry Pi.

dd if=./test_write of=/dev/null count=2000 bs=1024k 

3. Working with Ubuntu (Raspberry Pi)

• Search disk in menu -> Enter -> Open the disk.

• Choose the correct disk and click the Benchmark Partition option in the Menu:

• Click Start Benchmark, check to Perform write-benchmark, and keep other default settings.

• Input the user password and authorization.

• Test.

Use with Sunrise X3 PI

• Use the USB cable to connect the USB 3.0 port of the X3 PI to the USB port of the HUB.
• Insert a USB 3.0 solid-state drive.
• Test Disk Speed Using Commands.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install hdpram -y
sudo hdpram -tT /dev/sda*

Working in Windows PC

Question:The Mouse or Keyboard connected cannot work?

 Answer:

• Re-plug the USB cable, and make sure that the connection is normal.
• Maybe the USb3.0 adapter is broken, please change to another adapter or USB 3.0 cable for a try.

Question:How to power USB3.2-Gen1-HUB-4U?

 Answer:

After connecting the HUB and Raspberry Pi with a USB adapter, the Raspberry Pi can supply power to the HUB; if high-power devices such as mobile hard drives are connected, an external DC 5V power supply needs to be supplied to the Type-C interface of the HUB.

Question:How to verify USB 3.0 hard flash driver's speed and stability on Raspberry Pi?

 Answer:

You can verify it by the following commands:

ls /dev/sd*
while true; do sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda2;  sleep 10; done
