USB Hubs for Industrial Automation & Control Systems

May. 31, 2026

Factory environments demand more than standard USB hubs. AOK industrial hubs are engineered for continuous 24/7 operation — with surge protection, wide temperature tolerance, and DIN rail mounting for seamless PLC integration.

✓ ESD ±15kV protection✓ −40°C to 85°C✓ DIN rail / wall / desk mount✓ 24/7 continuous operation

Common Challenges

⚡

ESD and surge damage

Static discharge from welding equipment and motors destroys standard USB controllers, causing unplanned downtime and costly line stoppages.

△

Extreme temperature ranges

Consumer-grade hubs fail in foundry floors, outdoor enclosures, and cold-chain environments operating beyond the standard 0°C–50°C range.

⚙

Difficult cabinet mounting

Standard desktop hubs cannot be secured inside DIN rail panels, creating cable management issues and vibration risks on the factory floor.

How AOK Solves It

■

Built-in ESD & surge protection

±15kV ESD protection on all ports, 2kV surge suppression built in - no external protection devices needed. Compliant with IEC 61000-4-2.

❄

Wide operating temperature

Rated −40°C to 85°C for reliable deployment in harsh indoor and outdoor industrial enclosures, foundries, and refrigerated environments.

⚒

DIN rail, wall & desk mount

Aluminum housing with integrated 35mm DIN rail bracket — fits alongside PLCs inside standard electrical cabinets without adapters.
