Phidgets' 1019 Phidgetinterfacekit 8/8/8 w/6 Port Hub lets the user connect devices to any of eight analogue inputs, eight digital inputs or eight digital outputs.
The on-board six-port USB hub lets the user expand the number of Phidgets and other devices on their USB bus.
The Phidgetinterfacekit provides a generic, convenient way to interface a PC with various devices such as analogue sensors, push buttons, limit switches, relays, buzzers and lights.
Connecting additional USB devices to the Phidgetinterfacekit is as easy as plugging them into the on-board six-port hub.
Power is not transferred from the PC-USB bus to the downstream ports, so a power supply is provided with the Phidgetinterfacekit to supply power to additional USB devices.
Each USB port on the hub has a maximum current supply of 500mA.
