The SeaI/O-681U is an 8-port USB-to-RS-232 serial adapter designed for rugged industrial and embedded systems. Housed in a durable enclosure with RJ45 connectors and high-speed USB UART, it delivers seamless multi-port serial expansion over USB..
The SeaI/O-681U makes it easy to integrate eight RS-232 serial ports into any industrial or embedded application with a USB interface. Supporting up to 921.6K bps per port, it handles high-throughput communication while maintaining low host CPU usage through a robust state-machine USB/UART design.
Each port uses RJ45 connectors with integrated Tx/Rx LEDs, and the adapter itself fits neatly into industrial setups, including SeaPAC touchscreens or Relio systems.
The 681U also provides a high-retention USB port and rugged construction for long-term deployment in automation, control, or data collection environments.
An RS-485 pass-through expansion header allows integration with Sealevel’s N-series modules, offering a scalable path to additional I/O channels.
