Exsys EX-13078HM USB2.0 to 8x RS-232 Ports Metal Case FTDI Chipset

Exsys EX-13078HM USB2.0 to 8x RS-232 Serial Adapter

The Exsys EX-13078HM is a USB-to-serial adapter that expands a single USB port into eight independent RS-232 serial connections. It is designed for industrial and embedded applications where multiple legacy serial devices must be connected to a modern USB-equipped computer.

• Eight RS-232 ports enable simultaneous connection of multiple serial devices without bus contention
• FTDI chipset ensures reliable signal integrity and broad operating system compatibility
• Metal housing provides EMI shielding and mechanical durability for demanding environments
• Low-profile form factor fits into tight spaces and standard PCI slot environments

What sets the EX-13078HM apart

Unlike generic USB-to-serial adapters with one or two ports, the EX-13078HM consolidates eight RS-232 connections into a single USB interface. The metal enclosure distinguishes it from plastic alternatives in environments where electromagnetic interference and physical robustness are critical. The FTDI chipset is a widely supported reference design, reducing driver compatibility risks across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Ideal for...

Industrial automation engineers integrating PLCs, sensors, and measurement devices with USB-only host systems. Also suited for laboratory setups where multiple serial instruments — oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, or data loggers — must operate simultaneously from one computer.

Application of Exsys EX-13078HM

1. Connect the adapter to a free USB-A port on the host computer
2. Attach up to eight RS-232 devices using standard DB9 serial cables
3. Install the FTDI driver package from the manufacturer website
4. Configure each port individually in the operating system or application software
