This 8-port USB-to-RS232 serial hub allows users to connect multiple serial devices through a single USB port. It is designed for industrial environments where reliable and scalable serial communication is essential. The hub supports daisy chaining, enabling users to expand their serial port count as needed without requiring additional expensive hardware. The device is ideal for applications such as industrial automation, security systems, and automated kiosks where multiple serial devices need to be managed from a single computer.
Each port operates at a baud rate of 921.6Kbps, ensuring fast and efficient data transfer. The hub uses a FTDI USB-to-serial chipset, which is known for its reliability and compatibility with various operating systems. COM port retention ensures that the same COM port numbers are assigned each time the device is connected, reducing configuration issues. This feature is especially useful in environments where devices are frequently disconnected and reconnected.
The hub features a durable all-metal chassis that is rack-mountable, making it suitable for installation in standard 19-inch server racks. It is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions with an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. The device includes both an AC adapter and terminal block power options, providing flexibility in power supply configurations. This makes it suitable for use in environments with varying power requirements.
The ICUSB23208FD is designed for ease of use and maintenance. It comes with all necessary components for immediate setup, including the AC adapter and terminal block power. The daisy-chain functionality allows users to connect multiple hubs together, making it easy to scale the number of serial ports as needed. This makes it a cost-effective solution for expanding serial connectivity in industrial settings without the need for more expensive alternatives.
