Product Description:
Beckhoff supplies the CU8006-0000 as part of its CU EtherCAT Junctions series. The device functions as a SuperSpeed USB hub designed for DIN-rail installation inside control cabinets, where it fans out the host controller's USB channel to multiple field modules. By presenting a single upstream interface and several isolated downstream sockets, the junction reduces cable runs, allows hot swapping of diagnostic tools, and preserves the tight timing that EtherCAT applications require in manufacturing cells, packaging machines, and process skids. This arrangement keeps peripheral connections close to the control hardware, which helps maintain a clean cabinet layout when temporary or permanent USB devices must be attached.
With a housing width of 35 mm, a height of 99 mm, and a depth of 79.1 mm, the module fits beside standard I/O terminals without obstructing ventilation space. It is energized from the control voltage rail at 24 VDC, and its total current draw does not exceed 1 A, so no separate power supply is needed. Internally, the signal paths support a peak transfer capability of 5 Gbit/s, which means USB 3.0 peripherals can operate at full bandwidth for fast image capture or bulk data logging. A Type B receptacle accepts the host line, while four Type A sockets forward traffic, and each port transparently negotiates USB 1.1, USB 2.0, or USB 3.0 operation as needed by the connected device.
On the distribution side, the hub provides 4 downstream ports that deliver the regulated 5 VDC rail, and each outlet can supply up to 1.0 A to connected devices such as barcode scanners or flash drives. Communication with the controller is handled through 1 upstream port, creating a simple star topology within the cabinet. The housing has an IP20 protection rating, so it must be mounted inside an enclosure that is free of conductive dust. Permitted cable lengths reach 5 m for USB 2.0 and 3 m for USB 3.0 to maintain signal integrity at the stated data rate, and all conductors operate on the downstream 5 VDC supply.
