IP66 (splash water/ dust tight)
The IB-287-C31 has many talents, most of which cannot be identified at first sight. This also applies to protection class IP66, which prevents incoming dust or splash water. The IB-287-C31 achieves this with extra protection lips and reinforced holes for the screws.
Always at the ready
A data transfer is only one connection away with the integrated cable. But the IB-287-C31 also sticks out on the desk, with its over 35 cm cable there is enough room for flexibility. While not needed the cable can be clipped around the case for comfortable carry.
USB 3.1 (Gen 2) with Type-C™
With the technology of USB 3.1, even higher data transfer rates are now achieved. Also USB 3.1 is downwards compatible, with the corresponding cables. The data rate of up to 10 Gbit/s is supported by the included USB 3.1 Type-C™ cable and only needs a suitable end piece in the form of a PC, tablet or the like.

FAQ
Compatibility with the host computer
Are cables included in the package content?
If you want to connect a USB Type-C® enclosure to a USB Type-A connector, it is possible to use an adapter from ICY BOX (IB-CB015). The same works in the other direction from USB Type-A to USB Type-C® (IB-CB003).
Up to which hard disk capacity can I equip the ICY BOX?
Can a HDD be removed from an external HDD and installed into an ICY BOX?
Are special drivers required?
Can the enclosure also be connected to USB 2.0 ports?
Do I need a power supply for my external 2.5" enclosure?
Why is the HDD/SSD not recognized?
If the HDD/SSD is new, it must first be correctly formatted and partitioned before it is displayed in the system.
Use a different USB port on your notebook or PC.
Check if the power supply is connected and the external enclosure is switched on with the on/off switch (only for 3.5" enclosures).
Update the USB 3.0 / USB 3.1 drivers of your notebook/PC or mainboard. Current USB drivers can be found on the website of your mainboard manufacturer.
Everything is connected, but no function.
- Cables
- HDD/SSD
- Enclosure
To test your components, proceed as follows:
- Use the cables, hard drives, and enclosures on another system to see if your system is the source of the problem.
- Use a different cable, HDD/SSD, and hard disk enclosure one after the other to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in a different setup.
