The CG-4MGDU3MLR2 from our MDS-UH Port Management Series is a versatile managed USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub designed for industrial applications requiring advanced features. This hub offers an instant extension of four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, ensuring excellent compatibility and reliability with all existing USB 3.2, USB 2.0, and USB 1.1 devices.
Conforming to the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Specifications Revision 3.2 Gen 1, the hub supports data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps. It accommodates a wide input power range from 7 to 48V DC. The downstream ports comply with the USB Battery Charging Specification v1.2 (SDP, CDP, DCP) and various Vendor Specific Charging Modes, including Apple 2.4A and Samsung charging standards.
Included with the CG-4MGDU3MLR2 is management software that allows users to control the bus power for each downstream port and even reset the entire hub. Users can also save specific states to the hub’s flash memory, which will be restored during the next power cycle. The software supports various operating systems, including Windows, Intel x86-64, and ARM-based Linux.
As USB remains the most popular and scalable expansion bus for modern computers, the CG-4MGDU3MLR2, with its integrated software and hardware features, offers an ideal solution for adding USB devices efficiently, providing immediate value and protecting your investment.
The CG-4MGDU3MLR2 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 and Mac OS. 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.

When high-power USB peripherals are used, a power supply for the USB hub may be required. In other cases, the USB peripheral may require their own power adapters, in this case, a power supply for the hub may not be required. Without ample power though, the USB hub or connected peripherals may not operate correctly. It is recommended to use an included power supply when possible.
To prevent this, follow the steps below (depending on your operating system).
Windows 10 / 8
Note: You may need to disconnect and re-connect your USB device after applying these settings.
Windows 7 / Vista
Note: You may need to disconnect and re-connect your USB device after applying these settings.
Windows XP
Note: You may need to disconnect and re-connect your USB device after applying these settings.
Moving on to troubleshooting the hub itself. Attach a USB peripheral. The USB hub itself will not appear in hardware listings on your host’s system. USB devices connected however, will appear when connected. If the connected device is still not being found, try:
USB hubs do not require drivers or software.
Troubleshooting the desired USB peripheral may be in order. If the peripheral is still not being recognized, attempt:
External power is supplied by connecting to the terminal block located on the hub. For when an external power adapter is required check out the Accessories & Replacement Parts section on this product page. To view all of our hub accessories and power supplies, visit the category here.
To determine the power requirements, the equation to use is P = 5 * I * N, where:
P is the power wattage.
5 is the USB port voltage.
I is the current of the USB port in Amps (USB 2.0 is 0.5A, USB 3.0 is 0.9A.
N is the number of USB ports.
As an example using the equation, a 4 port hub would reflect a minimum wattage of 18 watts.
Knowing the minimum requirement, a proper power adapter can be chosen. In this case the voltage of a power supply should be within 7 to 24 or 7 to 40 Volts DC, depending on the specifications of the USB hub. Also, the power supply must convert AC to DC (no AC output).
Power supplies often come with a voltage (V) rating and an amperage (A) rating. To determine the current in amps, use I = P / V, where the following is true:
I is the current of the power supply.
P is the calculated power of the hub.
V is the chosen voltage of the power supply
Continuing the example, the 4 port hub requires 18 W and the power supply you choose is 12V, the current of the power supply would be I = 18/12, I = 1.5A.
