The SeaLINK+16.VC (Model 2167) is a 16-port USB to RS-232/RS-485 serial adapter designed for industrial-scale connectivity. Featuring VersaCom multi-interface RJ45 connectors, this rackmount device simplifies deployment by making both RS-232 and RS-485 signals always active. With no jumpers or switches to configure and support for high-speed data up to 921.6K bps, it offers performance and flexibility for demanding serial communication environments..
The SeaLINK+16.VC delivers a true plug-and-play solution for connecting up to 16 serial devices using only one USB port. Its VersaCom interface design ensures both RS-232 and 2-wire RS-485 are always present on each RJ45 port, allowing users to select the correct wiring externally without opening the enclosure. This dramatically simplifies installation and minimizes downtime during service or reconfiguration.
The 2167 features a state-machine-based USB-to-serial conversion architecture that significantly reduces CPU load during high-throughput operations. It also includes two additional USB ports for daisy-chaining or USB peripheral expansion. With data rates reaching 921.6K bps and full support for Windows and Linux via SeaCOM drivers, this device is optimized for industrial environments where flexibility, performance, and ease of integration matter most.
