Desktop-style commercial strength 4-port USB-RS232 converter optimized for Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7 but will also work fine with Linux, Mac and older operating systems.
With this multi-port USB-RS232 converter you can easily add four RS232 COM ports to almost any computer with a standard USB port. Surge and static protection up to 15KV protects all four COM ports.
This USB-RS232 converter is built around the high-performance and very reliable FT232BL chipset from FTDI Semiconductors which makes it fully compatible with most operating systems, including Linux and Mac (32/64-bit).
This converter is powered by the USB port but can optionally be powered by an external 5VDC supply. An external power supply is usually only required if you connect serial devices which draw a high current or if you connect this converter via a USB hub.
The housing is made of aluminum with hard plastic ends and indication LED lights indicate when data is present on any of the four ports.
