Installation Overview
N Choose one of these two methods to connect the HUB4 to the host computer. Do
If using an electrical box or a mounting bracket, install it in the wall or
furniture. See “Wall or furniture mounting”, later in this chapter.
Mount the USB HUB4 into an appropriate sized AAP or MAAP
mounting frame, rack space frame, or other Extron architectural product.
See “Mounting the hub to a mounting frame”, later in this chapter, for the
procedure.
Connect the USB HUB4 to the host computer in either of the following ways:
• Using the Type mini B USB connector: Connect a type A-to-Type mini B
cable (provided) to the USB mini B connector on the HUB4 rear panel.
• Using the green captive screw USB In port: Remove the Type B or
Type mini B terminator from a Type A-to-B or Type A-to-mini B USB
cable and insert the cable’s wires into the 5-pole USB In connector. This
method may be necessary if space is limited. (See “Connecting to the
captive screw USB connector”, later in this chapter.)
not connect the host computer to both HUB4 connectors at the same time.
(Optional) If the USB peripheral devices that are connected to the HUB4
require more power than the hub can provide, wire an optional Extron
PS 1210 C external 1 A, 12 VDC power supply (part #70-775-01) to the
Power In ports on the rear panel. (See “Connecting the external power
supply”, later in this chapter.)
PRELIMINARY
(Optional) If using an electrical box, mount the HUB4 and mounting frame
to it. (See “Mounting the hub to a wall box”, later in this chapter.) If you are
using a mounting bracket, this step is not needed.
Connect your peripheral USB devices to the front panel USB Type A
connectors.

USB HUB4 Series • Installation
The rear panels of the USB HUB4 AAP and MAAP models contain two types of
USB In connectors, either of which can be used for the USB cable that connects your
computer to the HUB4.
Power connector — If using an Extron external 12 VDC power supply to
a
power the HUB4, connect it to the rst two pins (labeled In) of this 4-pole,
3.5 mm direct insertion captive screw connector. (See “Connecting to the
captive screw USB connector”, below)
If desired, connect another Extron wall mounted device (for example, an
MLC 104 IP Plus AAP to which you have mounted the HUB4) to the third and
fourth pins (labeled Out). Both devices can then be powered from the single
connected power supply (power loop out).
(If the HUB4 is powered from your computer via the USB connection, this
connector is not used.)
N
USB In connectors
Two types of USB connectors provide alternative ways to connect the computer to
the HUB4.
Ensure that your system’s power requirements do not exceed the capacity of
the Extron 12 VDC power supply. The current is limited to 100 mA per port
when the devices are powered via the USB port; 500 mA per port when they are
powered via the power supply.
Captive screw connector — Connect a Type A to unterminated Type B or
b
mini B USB cable from the computer to this 5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw
connector. (See “Connecting to the captive screw USB connector”, below.)
Type mini B USB connector — Connect a Type A-to-mini B USB cable from
c
the computer to this Type mini B USB connector.
N
Only one host can be connected to the USB In connectors at a time. If two
hosts are connected, the HUB4 defaults to the host attached to the Type mini B
connector.
Connecting to the captive screw USB connector
It is recommended that you connect your computer to the HUB4 by plugging the
mini Type B end of the provided USB cable to the USB port on the rear panel. If,
however, your space is limited and you need to use the captive screw USB In
connector instead, prepare and connect the cable as follows:
1. Cut off the Type B end of a Type A-to-B or A-to-mini B USB cable. (Do not
remove the Type A plug.)
2. Strip away the exterior jacket and the foil insulation from the unterminated
end of the cable to expose 1 to 2 inches (or 3 to 6 cm) of the wires and shield.
C
Do not cut or remove the braided shield.

Connecting the external power supply
If the peripheral devices connected to the HUB4 require more power per port to
than the 100 mA that is provided through the computer or if you want to drive an
additional device from the same power source, you can attach an Extron PS 1210 C
external 1 A, 12 VDC power supply to the hub to increase the power to 500 mA per
port.
It is recommended that you use a 12 VDC external power supply if planning to
use flash drives or webcams, because those devices typically require greater than
100 mA.
If only a keyboard and mouse are being powered, 100 mA is usually sufficient.
Use only the Extron PS 1210 C power supply (part #70-775-01) with the
USB HUB4.

• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in
a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reduced air ow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of
air ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven
mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply
circuit, consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this
concern.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rackmounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
