Can I charge devices from a Cambrionix USB hub without being connected to a computer?
In most cases, yes.
With most of our desktop products:
With the folllowing products:
- SuperSync15
- PowerPad15s
- PowerPad8s
- PowerPad15C
- ThunderSync2-16
- MultiCharger14-2.4
When the USB hub is switched on and is not connected to a local host computer it is automatically configured to charge devices using its intelligent charging algorithm. Simply connect the devices to be charged to any of the available ports (not the Host Port) using USB compliant cables.
Once the devices are connected, the algorithm will detect the highest charge rate allowable for each attached device. Charging at the optimum rate specified by the manufacturer will commence once profiling is complete (Actual rate is dependent on the USB hub and device attached).
With of our rackmount products:
With the following products:
- ThunderSync3-16
When the TS3-16 is switched on (and not connected to a local host computer) it is automatically configured to charge devices using its intelligent charging algorithm. Simply connect the devices to any of the available 16 ports using USB2.0 or USB3.2 compliant cables.
Once the devices are connected, the algorithm will detect the highest charge rate allowable for each attached device.
During profiling the LEDs will flash red. Charging at the optimum rate specified by the manufacturer (up to 2.4 Amps) will commence once profiling is complete. At this point the red LEDs will be constantly illuminated. Depending on the state of charge of the device attached, profiling may take tens of seconds.
Once the device is nearly fully charged and the current draw falls below a set limit for a given period of time, the green LEDs will be illuminated.
