StarTechs USB to 4 port serial adapter - ICUSB234854I StarTechs USB to RS232/RS422/RS485 hub features 4 additional ports for industrial environments via a single USB port. Its a reliable and cost-effective way to expand on serial ports, while retaining full control from your computer. Inbuilt with 4 operating modes, freely connect RS232, RS422, and either 4 or 2-wire RS485. This provides the autonomy to connect a range of peripheral devices, such as: barcode scanners, sensors, and LED signage. Even better, because you have full control of your serial devices through a single computer, you can connect, control and monitor all the above external appliances and more.COM port retention also features in this adapter, allowing users to plug or unplug the single USB cable into different ports, or event after a reboot, and ensures the same settings and values are restored automatically to each specific serial connection.This serial hub is enclosed in a black IP30-rated all-metal chassis, designed to withstand the harsh industrial environments. It has a built-in wall-mounting bracket and includes a DIN rail mounting kit too. To prevent accidental disconnections on the included USB cable, the serial connector features screw-locking on both USB-B and host connection ends. Not only that, 15Kv of ESD protection is provided, reducing downtime where communication lines are more susceptible to sudden voltage spikes or noise emissions. This makes its reliable performance in no doubt for the mission-critical environments. This adapter comes equipped with a high-speed UART, which provides fast data rates of up to 921Kbps in any of the operating modes.StarTechs serial adapter hub is backed by a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
