USB to RS422 adapters (HIGH SPEED)

Description

Our Hi-Speed USB to RS422 adapters make it quick and simple to connect one or more RS422 devices to a USB port on your computer. These adapters use Hi-Speed USB for reduced latency and higher baud rates on the serial side. Using the multi-port models, you can add up to 16 RS422 ports using only one USB port on the computer.

RS422 is popular for a wide range of control and monitoring and industrial applications. However, most computers don’t have built-in RS422 ports or even slots on the back to add RS422 cards. Connecting via USB offers compatibility across a huge range of computers as well as easier setup.

With a variety of port numbers and enclosure styles and easy to install drivers for a range of operating systems, these adapters are ideal for adding one or more RS422 ports to your computer.
