SuperSpeed USB3.1 Gen2: Experience lightning-fast data transfers thanks to SuperSpeed USB3.1 Gen2 support, ensuring efficient connectivity for your astrophotography equipment.
Individual port control: Enjoy the flexibility to turn each USB port on or off independently, providing precise control over your connected devices and minimizing power consumption when not in use.
USB-IF compliance: The USB control hub is fully compliant with the USB 3.1 Gen2 USB-IF specification, ensuring seamless compatibility and compliance with industry standards.
Multi-speed support: Whether Hi-Speed (HS), Full Speed (FS) or Low Speed (LS) devices, the hub supports multiple speeds to accommodate a wide range of astrophotography peripherals.
Built-in protections: Safety is paramount with the UCH, which features a suite of protections including input reverse polarity, undervoltage and overvoltage. Your devices are protected from potential damage, allowing you to connect with confidence and peace of mind.
Multi-transaction operation: The innovative design allows SuperSpeed hubs to operate simultaneously with USB 2.0 controllers, ensuring that SuperSpeed data transfers at 5 Gbps are not affected by slower USB 2.0 traffic.
USB Control Hub - Success Story
The UCH has earned its reputation for unwavering reliability even in the harshest conditions, setting the performance benchmark in the most demanding environments. Its exceptional transfer speeds exceed those of comparable products, ensuring ultra-fast connectivity when it matters most.
Among other sectors (automotive, industrial robots, astronomy), USB control hubs Pegasus Astro are used to develop an experimental ISS payload funded by the Spanish National Research Plan, testing the effects of thermocapillary convection (Marangoni) on phase change materials under microgravity conditions.
This experiment is being designed and operated by E-USOC (https://www.eusoc.upm.es/), which is a center of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (http://www.upm.es/) designated by ESA to provide assistance in the preparation, execution and analysis of space experiments to the scientific community. We have been performing experiments on the ISS for 15 years. In addition, we have other parallel projects such as HRE Science Data Centre https://www.sdc.upm.es/about-sdc/, which preserves human and robotic exploration data sets, and Theia Space https://www.theia.eusoc.upm.es/, where they design and sell life-size training cubesats.
