Introduction:

The CG-10PU3MGD-NT from our MDS-UH Port Management Series is a managed USB 3.2 Gen 1 (commonly called USB3.0) hub which is designed to provide rich unique features for industrial applications. It provides an instant expansion of 10 USB3.2 Gen 1 downstream facing ports and keeps the excellent reliability and compatibility with all USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB 2.0 and 1.1 existing devices.

The hub complies with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Specifications Revision 3.1 Gen 1 and works up to 5Gbps. It accepts wide range input power from 7~24 VDC. Its downstream facing ports support USB Battery Charging Specification v1.2 (SDP, CDP, DCP) as well as some Vendor Specific Charging Modes e.g. Apple 2.4A , Samsung.

The CG-10PU3MGD-NT is supplied with managing software utilities which can turn on/off the bus power of each downstream device or even reset the entire hub. It also can save the designated state to its flash memory and read it back as the initial state of its next power up cycle. Different utilities were supported for different operating systems such as Windows, Intel x86-64 and ARM based Linux.

Equipped with advanced management software utilities that empower seamless remote sharing of USB ports as a server (compatible with Windows only), establish connections to a remote USB server as a client (Windows-exclusive), and exercise precise control over the bus power of each downstream device, with the added capability to reset the entire hub effortlessly.

Not just a hub, but a hub with foresight—the CG-10PU3MGD-NT can save a designated state to its flash memory, ensuring a consistent experience by restoring it as the initial state for the next power-up cycle. Embracing versatility, our hub supports different utilities tailored for various operating systems, including Windows, Intel x86-64, ARM-based systems, Mac OS, and Linux. Connect, control, and customize your USB hub experience with the CG-10PU3MGD-NT.

Managing Software:

The CG-10PU3MGD-NT software package contains several managing software utilities which support different platforms allowing better control over each individual ports' status. A GUI (Graphical User Interface) and console command prompt utilities for all major Microsoft Windows. It also includes utilities for different Linux versions. The utilities were written to easily operate with the applications software written with different language such as C#, C++, VB, Python or even a PHP server scripting language.
