LogiLink USB 2.0 to 8-Port RS232 Serial Adapter with DB9 Male and FTDI Chipset

On a busy production floor, a technician connects eight legacy RS232 devices—barcode scanners, weigh scales, and CNC controllers—to a single industrial PC. The LogiLink AU0033 consolidates these connections into one compact, metal-housed adapter, eliminating cable clutter and simplifying maintenance.

Key specifications

• USB 2.0 interface, backward compatible with USB 1.1
• Eight RS232 serial ports with DB9 male connectors
• FTDI chipset for reliable driver support on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Data transfer rates up to 230.4 Kbps
• Hardware and software flow control; configurable data bits, parity, and stop bits
• 15KV ESD protection for robust industrial use
• USB bus-powered; optional 5V DC external power for high-demand devices
• Wall-mountable metal housing with LED status indicators
• Includes 1.8 m USB Type-A to Type-B cable and mounting brackets

Why choose it

Replace eight individual USB serial adapters with one solution. The FTDI chipset ensures broad compatibility and stable performance, while the metal enclosure and built-in ESD protection suit shop-floor or server-room environments. Plug-and-play installation on Windows, macOS, and Linux saves time and reduces support overhead.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting multiple point-of-sale (POS) peripherals to one PC
• Managing industrial machinery with RS232 control ports
• Configuring network switches and other console devices
• Legacy system integration for data logging and automation

Good to know

The adapter is USB bus-powered, but an external 5V DC supply (not included) can be connected for devices requiring more power. All eight ports operate independently, and the included wall-mount brackets allow secure installation in control cabinets or under desks.
