Hifime Hi-speed USB Isolator, high speed 480 Mbps, USB Galvanic insulation, noise and ground loop removal

The High-Speed isolator provides galvanic isolation between the USB host and device and protects the device from power shocks and avoid ground loops that can be very troublesome in audio. It supports USB transfer modes Low (1.5Mbps), Full (12Mbps) and Hi-speed (480Mbps). Hi-Speed 480Mbps are required by DACs that support higher than 96kHz/24bit sample rates, and also multi channel DACs. The new isolator also provides more power, 400mA to the connected device, vs 200mA from the other USB isolator. This isolator does not support USB SuperSpeed 5Gbps, however this mode is rarely if ever used by audio devices. A handful of audio devices requires Thunderbolt, which is not supported by this isolator. A few soundcards like Apollo Twin USB require USB Super speed mode which is also not supported.

• Supports 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 USB ports and Supports Low (1.5Mbps), Full (12Mbps) and Hi-speed (480Mbps) mode by automatic detection
• Supports audio and other devices including high resolution 384kHz and DSD DACs, USB midi devices, USB mixers, USB microphones
• Provides 400mA to the connected USB device (or 500mA if your computer's USB port can supply <600mA to the isolator). 400mA is sufficient for most devices.
• Works with Thunderbolt ports on the computer, BUT NOT with (audio) devices that requires Thunderbolt connection
• No driver required, no settings to configure, Self powered, no external power needed, Size: 55x35mm + cable 10cm
