Edgeport®
USB-to-Serial Converters
Easy out-of-the-box solution for I/O expansion is available
in a wide variety of configurations for maximum flexibility
and scalability.

Overview
Edgeport USB-to-serial converters offer instant I/O expansion
for peripheral device connectivity. An out-of-the-box (external)
alternative to PCI cards, Edgeport makes it easy to add serial
and USB ports to a PC, server or thin client in minutes – without opening the chassis, reconfiguring or rebooting the system.
Edgeport is available in multiple configurations for maximum
flexibility and scalability. Choose from compact form factors
for space-prohibitive applications; single port “bump-in-thecable” solutions for notebook expansion; software-selectable
RS-232/422/485 models to connect any type of serial device to
one box; metal enclosures for rugged applications; models with
galvanic isolated ports for extended electrical safety; and DB-9,
DB-25 or RJ-45 connectors to meet cabling requirements.
Feature-rich design, reliability and unmatched operating system
support make Edgeport USB-to-serial converters ideal for
mission-critical enterprise applications.
