Key Specs
SuperSpeed USB3.1 Gen1: Experience lightning-fast data transfers with SuperSpeed USB3.1 Gen2 compatibility, ensuring efficient connectivity for your astrophotography equipment.
Individual Port Control: Enjoy the flexibility of switching each USB port ON or OFF independently, providing precise control over your connected devices and minimizing power consumption when not in use.
USB-IF Compliance: The USB Control Hub is fully compliant with USB-IF’s USB 3.1 Gen2 specification, ensuring seamless compatibility and adherence to industry standards.
Support for Various Speeds: Whether it’s Hi-Speed (HS), Full Speed (FS), or Low Speed (LS) devices, the hub supports multiple speeds to accommodate a wide range of astrophotography peripherals.
Built-in Protections: Safety is paramount with the UCH, boasting a suite of protections including input reverse polarity, undervoltage, and overvoltage safeguards. Your devices are shielded from potential damage, allowing you to connect with confidence and peace of mind.
Multi Transaction Operation: The innovative design allows SuperSpeed hubs to operate concurrently with USB 2.0 controllers, ensuring that 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfers remain unaffected by slower USB 2.0 traffic.
Advanced Tech for the USB Control Hub
6x USB3.1 Active Ports - Delivers 2.5A Each
Behold the Pegasus Astro USB Control Hub (UCH), boasting 6 x USB 3.1 Ports designed to revolutionize your astrophotography experience:
Versatile Compatibility: All ports seamlessly support USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 devices, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of equipment.
Enhanced Power Delivery: Each port is equipped to deliver up to 2.5Amps of current, empowering your devices with ample power for optimal performance.
Intelligent Current Management: With smart current limit sensors in every port, the hub automatically regulates power, safeguarding against short-circuits and excessive power consumption.
Proactive Monitoring: The USB Controller diligently monitors each port, promptly alerting users through an intuitive pop-up warning in the operating system in the event of a current limit breach.
Extended Temperature Support - Industrial Grade
Most USB Hubs in the market (well…nearly all of them) operate under room temperatures as they were design to work inside your cosy warm room. This is one of the reasons why you experience USB disconnects and instability during a cold night.
Step into a new realm of reliability with our USB Control Hub, engineered to excel where others falter. While conventional hubs succumb to the chill of a cold night, ours defies the elements with confidence:
Unparalleled Endurance: Certified to operate flawlessly across extreme temperatures ranging from a bone-chilling −40°C to a scorching +85°C, (-40°F to +185°F) our hub ensures uninterrupted performance even in the harshest environments.
Industrial-Grade Components: Every aspect of our USB Hub electronics is chosen to withstand industrial-grade temperature ranges, guaranteeing resilience and longevity in the face of adversity.
Unity Platform Support
Pegasus Astro Unity Platform is our new all around application. Our goal is to provide a robust and modern application that is going to support current and future products under one roof.
A modern frontend allows the full control of all Pegasus Astro devices.
Moreover, a REST JSON api helps developers from 3rd party software to interact with our products.
As we continuously develop our applications, based on customer feedback, lots of innovative features are going to be added in upcoming releases.

Proactive Monitoring: The USB Controller diligently monitors each port, promptly alerting users through an intuitive pop-up warning in the operating system in the event of a current limit breach.
Extended temperature support - Industrial Grade
Most USB Hubs in the market (well…nearly all of them) operate under room temperatures as they were design to work inside your cosy warm room. This is one of the reasons why you experience USB disconnects and instability during a cold night.
Step into a new realm of reliability with our USB Control Hub, engineered to excel where others falter. While conventional hubs succumb to the chill of a cold night, ours defies the elements with confidence:
Unparalleled Endurance: Certified to operate flawlessly across extreme temperatures ranging from a bone-chilling −40°C to a scorching +85°C, (-40°F to +185°F) our hub ensures uninterrupted performance even in the harshest environments.
Industrial-Grade Components: Every aspect of our USB Hub electronics is chosen to withstand industrial-grade temperature ranges, guaranteeing resilience and longevity in the face of adversity.
Supported By
ASCOM 6
Device fully supports ASCOM switch. This means that you can switch ON/OFF each USB port via ASCOM supported software.
INDI
USB Control Hub is fully supported by Indilib framework
On/Off USB Ports
Switch ON/OFF USB Ports on demand. Monitor USB Voltage levels. Easily name each USB port based on the device that is attached on it
Standalone Software
Standalone software is only available for Windows and OS X operating systems
Other Key Features
Aluminium Enclosure
A high quality robust, blue anodised 6061 aluminium enclosure houses the electronics of the USB Hub. The metal enclosure designed and tested to survive ±5kV ESD strikes
Switchable USB Ports
Each USB port can be controlled and switched ON/OFF by our standalone software. No more pull out and re-plug USB cables of your equipment.
12V DC Operation
The 12V DC operation was our first design requirement. As most of your astro-equipment requires 12V DC why to use something different? Hub accepts 12-14V of operation. This means that you can plug unregulated 12V power from a battery.
Expansion Port (EXT)
A RJ12 external ports allows future device expansion

Unity Platform Support
Pegasus Astro Unity Platform is our new all around application. Our goal is to provide a robust and modern application that is going to support current and future products under one roof.
A modern frontend allows the full control of all Pegasus Astro devices.
Moreover, a REST JSON api helps developers from 3rd party software to interact with our products.
As we continuously develop our applications, based on customer feedback, lots of innovative features are going to be added in upcoming releases.
