USB Plus Series The USB Plus Series of products are fully compliant with standard USB ports. The PlusPower ports allow for the attachment of USB devices that draw more than 500 mA, which is the maximum power provided by standard USB ports. This additional power enables USB PlusPower peripherals to function properly without requiring their own individual power supplies.
® Hubport /4+ and Hubport/4c+ Hubport/4+ and Hubport/4c+ (compact) are externally powered hubs that connect to a standard USB upstream port. They both offer four downstream USB PlusPower ports that are compatible with both standard USB and PlusPower USB devices. Port 1 supplies 24 VDC, and Ports 2 through 4 supply 12 VDC (in addition to the standard 5 VDC available all of the PlusPower ports as shown in figure 1 on page 1).
Hubport/PCI+ and Hubport/PCI+ LP (Low Profile) Hubport/PCI+ is a USB 2.0 full size expansion card with powered USB technology. The Hubport/PCI+ card is available in two versions. The externally powered card utilizes a 24 volt external power supply. The internally powered card utilizes power balancing technology to provide maximum power to 12 volt and 24-volt peripherals without exhausting the PC’s 5 or 12 volt power.

USB Plus Series Interface (for Hubport/4c+ and the managed Hubport/PCI+ and Hubport/PCI+ LP cards) The USB Plus Series products present themselves to a user application by way of a virtual serial port.

Understanding Hubs Hubs, critical components in the USB architecture, are wiring concentrators that enable the attachment of multiple devices, thus converting a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. USB architecture allows a cascaded multiple hub configuration with certain power limitations (explained later in this section).
