EXSYS EX-1348HMV 8-Port USB 2.0 to RS-232/422/485 Serial Adapter Hub with Metal Case and FTDI Chipset

When a single serial port isn't enough, the EXSYS EX-1348HMV steps in with eight independently configurable RS-232/422/485 ports over a single USB 2.0 connection. Unlike basic USB-to-serial cables that handle only one device, this industrial-grade hub consolidates multiple legacy peripherals—barcode scanners, PLCs, sensors, or POS terminals—into one compact metal enclosure. The FTDI chipset ensures driver stability across Windows, Linux, and macOS, while 15KV ESD protection guards against electrical spikes in demanding environments.

Highlights

• 8 DB9 male serial ports, each supporting RS-232 (V.24), RS-422, or RS-485
• High-speed data rates up to 921.6 Kbps per port
• FTDI chipset with 128-byte Tx and 256-byte Rx FIFO buffers per port
• Hardware (RTS/CTS) and software (XON/XOFF) flow control
• USB bus-powered or optional external 7.5V/1.5A power supply
• Tx/Rx LED indicators for each port for instant status monitoring
• Robust metal housing with wall-mount and optional DIN-rail mounting
• Wide operating temperature range from 0°C to 55°C

In daily use

Connect the EX-1348HMV to any USB 2.0 port and gain eight serial interfaces without opening your computer case. Each port is individually configurable via software, allowing mixed RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 devices on the same hub. The metal case dissipates heat effectively and withstands vibration, making it suitable for factory floors, kiosks, or server rooms. LEDs flicker with data activity, giving you immediate visual confirmation of communication. For fixed installations, the included wall-mount brackets keep the hub securely in place, while the optional DIN-rail kit integrates it into control cabinets.
