Digi recommends using two power cords:

  • Two power cords to provide the power supply needed for the Hub and the USB ports in use. Refer to the AnywhereUSB data sheet for power supply information.

  • Two power cords maintain redundancy if one power supply fails. You can view the power supply LEDs on the front of the Hub to verify that the power supplies are active.

  • Using two cords maximizes heat dissipation.

  • Digi also recommends that you plug each power cord into separate main power circuits.
SFP+ modules

Connect an SFP transceiver module for fiber connection, such as Finisar Network FTLX8574D3BCL SFP+.

Note Digi recommends that you use either the Ethernet cable or the SFP+ module. If both the Ethernet cable and the SFP+ module are connected, data is sent and received by SFP+ only. Ethernet is not used to send or receive data.

RS232 DB9 Console cable

Use the console cable to establish a serial connection from the console port on your device to your local laptop or PC. See Console port.
Regional power cable
