ASI2600 with ASAIR

Daviswh

I thought I had this figured out, but the more I read the more I get confused. I have the Asiair Plus, ASI120MM Guide Camera , ZWO EAF, ASI2600MC. My swirl is the 2600 connections.

What is the purpose of the 2600 USB 2.0 hub? Connect to the Guide camera? Does the 2600 “pass through” the guiding through the USB3.0 port to the ASAIR?
I assume the USB 3.0 port connects to the ASIAIR.
Does the USB 3.0 port provide the power necessary to run the cooler? Or do I need a separate power supply? I have a Pegasus Pocket Power micro that can provide a separate power source.
Thanks for the help

Indeed this is a pass through hub to which you can connect any device you like. You don't need to use it but can if you want to.
Correct.
You'll need an external power supply that can deliver 3A as is stated in the manual of the camera.

Thanks - this really helps. Connecting the Guide camera to the ASI2600 USB 2.0 port will free up one of the USB ports on AA+ for a thumb drive. The Pegasus micro will supply up to 10 amps, so I should have enough amps without having another brick to deal with.
