USB Hub

This USB hub contains two SuperSpeed USB ports to power your VNA peripherals. There is also one USB port below the LAN connector, on USB device port, and four USB ports on the front panel.

Limitation: The total power consumption for all eight USB ports is limited to 4.0 amps. If this limit is exceeded, all USB ports are disabled until a device is removed and power consumption falls below the limit. The total current limit for all rear panel USB ports is 2.3 amps. The total current limit for all front panel USB ports is 2 amps. When first connected, Keysight ECal modules 8509x and N4431 draw significantly more current than other modules. See Specifications.
