It offers a practical solution for connecting existing serial equipment (control systems, terminals, measuring instruments, and other RS-232 peripherals) to systems with limited or no built-in serial connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt features an FTDI chipset, widely used for USB-to-serial conversion. This hub supports serial data rates of up to 921.6 kbit\/s, making it suitable for various serial communication applications. Its COM port retention feature preserves port assignments after a restart, thus avoiding the reconfiguration of software that depends on constant COM port numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hub is designed for installation and infrastructure environments, and not for occasional use at a workstation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin:24px 0;padding:16px 20px;background:#f6f8fb;border:1px solid #e1e6ee;border-left:4px solid #1b6ec2;border-radius:6px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.02em;color:#1b3a5c\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0;padding:0;display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(300px,1fr));gap:0 28px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px dashed #d3dae5;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4\"\u003e8 RS-232 serial ports\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px dashed #d3dae5;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4\"\u003e1 USB Type-B port\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px dashed #d3dae5;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4\"\u003e1 USB Type-A port for serial connection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px dashed #d3dae5;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4\"\u003e921.6 kbit\/s data rate per port\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px dashed #d3dae5;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4\"\u003e256-byte transmit and 128-byte receive FIFO\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px dashed #d3dae5;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4\"\u003eCOM port retention\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:0;padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px dashed #d3dae5;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4\"\u003e19-inch rackmount chassis\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"STARTECH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67902039523380,"sku":"BRK26021746","price":493.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/0795\/6788\/files\/ICUSB23208FDCA_07a31741-56bd-4ebc-99f0-966b84ca55f6.jpg?v=1793781223","url":"https:\/\/equimaf.ca\/en\/products\/8-port-usb-serial-ad","provider":"EQUIMAF.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
