[MS2 variant only] Note: When connecting four USB devices to the unit, ensure that their total power requirements do not exceed 1700mA (1.7A). The USB standard states a maximum allowable current draw of 500mA (0.5A) per device, although most devices remain well below this limit - USB keyboards and mice typically require 100mA. Each X50 contains a self- resetting fuse that will prevent damage by shutting down the unit if the total power draw becomes excessive.
