Acromag’s compact, Industrial-grade
isolator provides a high-voltage isolation barrier between a computer and a
connected USB device. The isolator protects equipment from electrical surges
and transient voltage spikes as well as eliminating ground loop currents
flowing between the PC and peripherals; which can damage instruments and cause
inaccurate measurements. Additionally, isolation minimises conducted noise from
static discharge, magnetic fields, and radio frequency interference.
Acromag’s USB isolator is very easy
to use. The isolator inserts in-line with the USB connection and operates
transparently with no special software drivers required. The unit receives
power from the PC’s USB port and isolates that power to the connected device.
High noise immunity and low radiated emissions ensure reliable data transfer in
sensitive applications.
A number of high-performance
features help provide convenient and dependable operation. The green LED
indicates that power is being received and blinks if the connected device draws
too much current. The USB isolator as has an internal jumper, which allows you
to switch from Full Speed (12 Mbps) to Low Speed (1.5 Mbps) communication. The
reset button offers a simple way to reinitialise a connected device without breaking
the cable connection. This USB isolator has High-retention USB sockets that
keep cables securely attached under shock and vibration.
