Digi AnywhereUSB 8 Plus – USB Connectivity Anywhere
Rapidly deploy, configure, secure and manage devices at any distance
IoT business automation requires communication with various IT assets and peripherals located across an enterprise. Digi AnywhereUSB® Plus remote USB hubs give users the simplest and most direct connection options for existing equipment with a variety of USB 3.1 Gen 1 port options.
All models have Gigabit Ethernet support. 8- and 24-port models support 10 GB Ethernet with the option to use SFP+ connectors for fiber network connectivity. The 24-port models support dual Ethernet or dual SFP+ and optional Ethernet bonding for higher speeds and/or failover redundancy. Wi-Fi versions of the 8- and 24-port models are also available, providing Wi-Fi client or access point connectivity.
Digi AnywhereUSB 24 Plus is rack mountable with 24 USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, while AnywhereUSB 8 Plus is desktop or rack mountable (with included rack ears) and AnywhereUSB 2 Plus is desktop or panel mountable with eight or two ports, respectively, and support for Gigabit Ethernet. For enterprise and industrial customers who need remote or local USB ports and the higher speeds of USB 3.1 Gen 1 and Gigabit/10 Gigabit Ethernet, Digi AnywhereUSB Plus products give you an industry-leading connectivity solution.
Digi AnywhereUSB Plus provides a consistent, secure and cost-effective way to verify that your IoT infrastructure is configured correctly and fully operational as it continues to expand. It allows for flexible methods to test, provision, confirm and resolve any connectivity issues related to scaled deployments of IoT devices. Digi AnywhereUSB® Plus lets you readily manage a large volume of USB devices with minimal effort.
Increase Security Posture and Agility
As a network of USB IoT devices expands, the risk of cyber attacks increases. Network engineers need to take proactive measures to increase the security posture of their network. AnywhereUSB Plus coupled with Digi Remote Manager® protects your peripheral devices and gives you the security agility needed to keep your networks safe.
Deploy and Manage USB Devices Over IP
Connect to almost any USB device, anywhere. Manage up to 24 USB devices over IP. Recharge or install firmware updates on barcode scanners, receipt printers, credit card readers, point of sale terminals, cameras, scales, monitors, in-store kiosks, security check-in stations, telephone systems, removable disks, license dongles and more.
Centralize Network USB Connections
Digi AnywhereUSB Plus remote hubs let you manage USB assets over IP, beyond the limit of USB cable distances. Computers can be centralized, virtualized or positioned in racks to reduce the amount of equipment in a work area, improve security, and streamline configuration and testing.
Efficiently Manage USB Hubs With Flexible Connectivity Options
Group USB ports within one remote hub to give different clients access to one or more of these groups of smart devices. Different users can then access only the equipment they need to work with, as they need it, without affecting access to any other devices being managed.

Maximum USB Speed with AnywhereUSB Plus
Digi AnywhereUSB Plus uses USB 3.1 gen 1 Type A ports. While in direct connection environments these ports can achieve theoretical speeds of up to 5Gbps performance on AnywhereUSB Plus will be slower due to the nature of the AnywhereUSB protocol and the effect of the network.
To maximize transfer speeds, your USB cables should all be rated for USB 3.1 or higher, you should connect devices directly to the AnywhereUSB Plus and not add an additional hub downstream of the AnywhereUSB Plus. Also monitor the network connection between the AnywhereUSB Plus and the Computer that will access the devices to be aware of any capacity constraints on the network side.
Digi AnywhereUSB Plus is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0.
