A single 12V DC input (5.5 x 2.5 mm, 10A) feeds six 12V straight-through DC outputs (5.5 x 2.1 mm), and a built-in hub provides two USB 3.1 Type-A data ports, one USB 2.0 Type-A data port, two USB 2.0 Type-A power-only ports and a USB Type-C port. The hub connects to your computer over USB Type-B. The body measures 96 x 61 x 25 mm, weighs 125 g, and mounts by a 1\/4″-20 UNC thread or two M4 holes 20 mm apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0049\/6239\/files\/22_20260720144854_8475.webp?v=1791670100\" alt=\"SVBONY SV241 DC and USB hub box feature panel 1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if your imaging setup has a camera, mount, focuser, filter wheel and dew heaters each running its own power and data cable, and you want one box on the telescope that gathers them into a single power lead and a single USB cable to the computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
