The SeaLINK+8/485 (Model 2802) is a heavy-duty USB-to-serial adapter that connects up to eight RS-422 or RS-485 serial devices through a single USB port. Designed for industrial environments, it offers secure communication up to 4000 feet per port with dipswitch-based configuration and a robust metal enclosure. This adapter is ideal for automation, process control, and legacy equipment integration..
The SeaLINK+8/485 from Sealevel Systems is engineered for demanding applications requiring multiple long-distance serial connections. Each of its eight DB9M ports supports RS-422 or RS-485 protocols, with hardware selection via easy-to-access internal dipswitches. Built for mission-critical environments, its metal enclosure and high-retention SeaLATCH USB connector prevent disconnections in mobile or vibration-heavy setups. With SeaCOM driver compatibility, all ports are registered as individual COM ports — ensuring smooth integration with existing software. Designed to be efficient, its internal state-machine architecture offloads work from the host PC, making it a reliable solution for scalable serial I/O deployment.
