MCS-92 USB Hub w/ 7 ports
These informations are provided “AS IS” and without any warranty of any kind.
This module provides an 7-port USB 2.0 Hi-Speed HUB.
When using an external power supply, each downstream port supports up to 2 A, but the total current will still be limited by the 5.5*2.1 barrel connector.
Those connectors should generally not exceed a maximum of 3 A, otherwise they overheat and cause damage.
Without an external power supply, the total current will be limited to 500 mA.
Pros
- PCB and components seem to be pretty good quality, works flawlessly
- Compact board design makes it a suitable for DIN Rail mounting
- Decent price-performance ratio
Cons
- External power supply; using KF129 or a plugin screw terminal would have been a better choice, especially when mounting on a DIN Rail, but also to support more current in general

3D Printed Case
I’ve designed a DIN-Rail mountable case for this board, it will soon be available on eBay.de
As most of my cases for electronic devices, it has been printed using insulating and flame-retardant (UL 94 HB) DuraPro ABS filament from Extrudr.
