Sealevel 681U-OEM USB to RS-232 RJ45 Serial Interface Adapter

The Sealevel 681U-OEM SeaI/O easily adds eight RS-232 serial ports to OEM computing platforms including ITX, EBX, EPIC, and ATX designs, or any OEM application where serial devices can be connected via an available USB port. The serial ports appear as standard COM ports to the host system enabling compatibility with legacy software. The SeaI/O 681U-OEM supports data rates to 921.6K bps and is designed with a state-machine architecture that greatly reduces the host CPU overhead when communicating over multiple ports simultaneously. Status LEDs on the RJ45 connectors display transmit and receive data activity.

The SeaI/O 681U-OEM is powered from your 9-30VDC source, or select from a variety of Sealevel power supply options. For conveniently powering serial peripherals, the supplied power is fused and connected to pin 5 on each of the RJ45 serial connectors. A high-retention USB type B connector helps to prevent accidental disconnection of the USB cable.

An RS-485 pass-through connector on the side of the SeaI/O 681U-OEM provides additional I/O expansion using SeaI/O N-series OEM expansion boards. Increase your I/O network with up to 246 additional SeaI/O expansion boards, available with Reed and Form C relays, optically isolated inputs, TTL interfaces, A/D and D/A functionality.
