CONVERTERS
EDGEPORT
®
Easy out-of-the-box solution for I/O expansion is
available in a wide variety of configurations for
maximum flexibility and scalability
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-the-
cable” solutions for notebook expansion; software-selectable
RS-232/422/485 models to connect any type of serial device
to one box; models with galvanic isolated ports for extended
electrical safety; and DB-9 or DB-25 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.
BENEFITS

stations, self check-out systems, emergency vehicles,
kiosks, ATMs and more
