The CarNetix CNX-P5USB is a DC-powered 4-port USB hub designed for automotive or embedded DC-powered applications. The P5USB includes and internal DC-DC regulator so that each of the 4 USB ports can provide up to 500mA of current to the downstream USB devices. The P5USB can be used in either a +12V or +24V automotive environment. It will operate down to 7V (survives engine cranking) and can withstand voltage transients typically found in a harsh automotive environment.

The DC input includes reverse polarity protection, transient suppression, and an internal in-line, self-resetting fuse. A self-locking power cable is included. The P5USB can be turned ON or OFF either by the car’s ignition line or by sensing the presence of +5V on the upstream host USB device (PC). This helps prevent battery discharge when the PC is left in Standby for extended periods of time. The P5USB includes an Shutdown Delay jumper which can be set to allow the P5USB to remain on for either 5 minutes or 25 minutes after the Ignition is turned off. This prevents the loss of USB connectivity during short stops if the PC is left running.

The CNX-P5USB can be used in a variety of automotive, embedded, marine, mobile, or industrial applications that require the use of a DC power source (ie battery, solar). The internal DC-DC converter can stabilizes a source voltage from as low as 7 volts up to 32 volts and provide a clean +5V output for the connected USB devices. Each downstream USB port is independently current limited and provides an LED indication of USB enumeration. The P5USB comes in a compact plastic enclosure that measures 5.12” x 2.84” x 1.1” and includes mounting tabs.

Problem Solved August 31, 2009
Reviewer: Storm Johnson from New London, CT United States  
okay, 1st the hub works great once one realizes that the "accy" wire is not an optional wire such as on a car radio. It would still be nice for those of us that are not techies if there where some basic instructions. Now, if anyone knows of a way to get the unit to turn on without having a computer sending a signal to it. I could use it to charge my phone, earpiece, and gps unit.

Thanks in advance for any info

Can't run my external hard drive. August 8, 2009
Reviewer: Ryan  from  United Kingdom  
I paid a fortune to have this sent to the UK, and it hasn't even performed properly.  I have no problems running my GPS and touchscreen off of it, but it doesn't seem to be able to power my WD USB powered hard drive properly.

Fantastic Hub! July 10, 2009
Reviewer: JohnWPB from Lake Worth, FL United States  
I love the fact this powers directly off the cars 12v power.  No voltage converter is needed!  This also means that it does not draw additional power from the computers USB port.

I have it configured so that when the PC boots up, the hub detects this and automatically powers on.  It can also be set to turn on when the ignition is turned on as well.

The construction of the hub is top notch!  It has a very sturdy case, and looks like something that would be under the dash right from the factory!

Great Product, Works Exactly as Expected July 9, 2009
Reviewer: 2k1Toaster from Colorado Springs, CO United States  
I helped beta test these units, and from the start the design was flawless. I have had it running in my car no problems for many months. Setup was easy and straightforwards. If you can plug in a cable, you can install this. And it looks pretty spiffy too. :)
