LDO Nitehawk Hexa 6+1 USB Adapter

The LDO Nitehawk Hexa 6+1 USB Adapter is a robust, purpose-built solution for multi-toolhead 3D printers that demand efficient cable management and power distribution. This compact USB hub adapter seamlessly integrates the functions of six Nitehawk USB adapters, a high-speed USB 2.0 hub, and a reliable 24V power splitter into a single, streamlined PCB. Specifically designed for advanced print systems like IDEX and toolchanger setups, the Hexa adapter enables clean, plug-and-play connectivity for up to six USB toolboards, minimizing wiring complexity while maximizing reliability.

The LDO Nitehawk Hexa simplifies installation: just a single 24V power input and a USB-C connection to your host are required to simultaneously supply up to six toolboards with both power and data. Each port is independently fused and features data line protection for added safety, and there is a convenient auxiliary USB A port for connecting devices such as webcams or flash drives. This unit is compatible with any Klipper enabled toolboard using USB communication, provided proper pinout matching. With a maximum rated current of 30A (shared), this adapter is engineered for demanding, multi heated-toolhead environments, but is not intended for mounting inside heated printer chambers. The LDO Nitehawk Hexa is the professional’s choice for clean, safe, and scalable multi toolhead wiring.

Simplify Your Multi-Tool Setup. One Cable. Six Toolboards. Zero Hassle.

Transform your complex multi-toolhead setup into a clean, manageable system. Connect up to 6 downstream toolboards using just a single 24V power cable (included) and a standard USB-C connection. Say goodbye to cable chaos and power supply juggling.

True Plug-and-Play Performance

Works exactly like a premium USB hub should because that’s exactly what it is. No drivers to hunt down, no firmware to flash, no configuration headaches. Just plug it in and get back to printing.

Extra Connectivity When You Need It

Bonus USB A port gives you the flexibility to add a webcam for print monitoring, connect a flash drive for offline files, integrate an Arduino for custom automation, or any other standard USB device your workflow demands.
