Isolate Your USB 3.0 Connections!

http://www.saelig.com/alldaq/adq-usb-iso-ps.htm
The Alldaq ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO-PS USB 3.0 Isolator supports the full USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data rate of 5Gbit/s. This allows USB 3.0 SuperSpeed devices to be electrically isolated from a host PC or other peripherals at full performance. The re-clocking design guarantees a stable USB connection at all speeds. The ADQ-USB isolators can be used for the electrical isolation of USB measurement instruments to avoid ground loops to solve problems in industrial and automotive applications as well as in professional sound studios and event and show equipmen.
The ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO isolators automatically detect SuperSpeed (5Gbit/s), High-Speed (480Mbit/s), Full-Speed (12Mbit/s) or Low-Speed (1.5 Mbit/s) connections. The model ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO-PS  includes a +5 V power adapter with a lockable 5.5mm barrel connector (bayonet lock) for a safety.  
The isolation voltage between PC and USB device is 1kV (continuous). The ESD protection of the data lines is ensured by transient-voltage-suppression diodes up to ±12kV (contact discharge) and  ±15kV (air-gap discharge) according to IEC 61000-4-2.  The ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO-PS comes with a specially isolated medical power supply  and can source up to 200mA at the device port. For USB devices requiring more current, the external power supply version ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO-W can provide 900 mA according to the USB 3.0 specification.  The Alldaq USB 3.0 isolators are compatible with Windows, MAC OS and Linux systems, and downward-compatible with USB 2.0/1.1/1.0 equipment.
Housed in a robust aluminum housing with rubber bumpers and designed for an operating temperature from -20 to +70degC, the Alldaq USB 3.0-ISO isolators are suitable even for applications in harsh environments.  An optional DIN rail mounting kit is also available for permanent installations.
The ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO can protect computers and USB devices effectively against interference voltages, while also eliminating ground loops. Typical applications include: electrical isolation between measurement instruments and PCs, rejection of ripple pickup in studio equipment, removing differing ground potentials in industrial control equipment, and protection against voltage peaks in automotive set-ups. 
The Alldaq ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO-PS USB 3.0 Isolator is compact in size (3.6” x 2.5” x 1.3” - L x W x H incl. rubber bumpers) and weight (4.5oz).
Application examples
  • Electrical isolation between measurement instruments and PC
  • Efficient suppression of ground loops – ideal for music studios and event technology
  • Spike protection in the automotive area, e. g. for testing control units
  • Decoupling of different ground levels in industrial control technology
