4 Port USB 3.2 Gen 2 Micro Powered Hub DIY Per Port Port Power Control PCBA w/ GL3590 Chipset

Introduction

USB 3.2 Gen 2 powered micro hub PCBA. The CG-3590X4AX1C-PDv1.0-DEV is a +7~14V DC input, USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub PCBA with ESD and Surge protection. Each port is protected individually to help keep your peripherals safe. This hub uses a CCG3 PD Cypress chip, each port is on an individual circuit to maintain high current and protection. Features per-port power switching capability for compatibility with uhubctl.

UhubCTL

UhubCTL is an open-source utility to control USB power per-port on smart USB hubs. Smart hub is defined as one that implements per-port power switching. Benefits of uhubctl include:

• Enhanced Device Management: UhubCTL grants you granular control over your connected devices. Quickly disable power-hungry peripherals or isolate malfunctioning equipment for troubleshooting.
• Improved System Stability: By selectively cutting power to specific ports, uhubctl can help prevent potential electrical conflicts or overloads, especially when using multiple high-power devices.
• Energy Efficiency: UhubCTL empowers you to power down unused ports, reducing overall power consumption and extending the lifespan of your devices.
• Convenience and Flexibility: UhubCTL offers a software-based approach to device management, eliminating the need to constantly reach behind your computer to physically unplug cables.
