Why install an internal serial adapter to get extra COM ports when using an external USB connection makes more sense? Our USB Hubs convert your serial devices to USB-adaptable peripherals without sacrificing serial connection speeds.
The hubs feature high-speed UARTs with 128-byte FIFO transmit buffers and 384-byte FIFO receive buffers. With data rates of up to 921 kbps for RS-422/485 and 460 kbps for RS-232, these hubs are among the fastest USB serial devices in the industry!
They're also ideal for connecting devices in harsh environments where communication lines may be affected by noise and voltage spikes. Not only do the USB Hubs give you industrial-quality serial connections, but they also support automatic RS-485 data enable/disable and include a DB9 connector that's backward-compatible with PCI and ISA RS-422 products.
The USB Hubs connect easily to peripheral serial devices in external plug-and-play fashion. Because they're hot-swappable, you can install them without having to power down your PC.
Each hub comes with all necessary drivers, utilities, and help files for quick setup in Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems. Simply load the included software drivers, then connect the hub to your USB port and a serial device (printer, bar-code scanner, etc.). The hub even autoconfigures itself, enabling hassle-free, seamless integration into your existing application.
Choose from three models. You can configure each of the ports individually using internal DIP switches.$293.43 -
Black Box DB9 8-Port USB-to-RS-232 Converter - USB - PC - 8 x Number of Serial Ports External - 1 x Number of USB Ports - TAA Compliant
The USB to RS232 converter allows you to connect eight non-USB RS232 DB9 devices to your USB bus. The USB Hubs are ideal for connecting factory automation devices, such as data loggers and industrial machinery, or any device that depends on links that aren't affected by excessive noise or spikes in voltage.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology doesn't require any IRQs, so you can attach more peripheral devices to the system, thus eliminating IRQ conflicts. Because many older computers do not have USB connectors onboard and most newer computers come with only one or two USB ports, USB hubs are used to connect additional USB peripherals.
The USB 2.0 Hub, 4-Port complies with the USB 2.0 standard and provides data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps. It's faster, more efficient, and more capable than its predecessor, USB 1.1. Also, it's backward-compatible, so you don't lose your prior investment in USB 1.1 peripherals.
