Industrial Terminal Server
The Digi International 70002538 ConnectPort is a 16-port device server built for industrial Ethernet integration. It bridges serial equipment to IP networks using wired connectivity and standard TCP/IP protocols. The unit operates on a 48 V DC supply with a minimum input of 100 V and delivers 208 to 230 V AC output.
Suited for Serial-to-Ethernet Bridging
This server fits engineers connecting RS-232 instruments, PLCs or legacy consoles to a 100Base-TX LAN. It provides sixteen RJ-45 serial ports and two USB interfaces for local management. Buyers needing wireless links, higher port density or native fibre uplinks should evaluate other platforms.
Sixteen RS-232 Ports on RJ-45
The decisive specification is the count of sixteen RS-232 channels presented on RJ-45 connectors alongside a single 100Base-TX Ethernet port. This exact port arrangement determines whether the unit matches your serial device count and cabling infrastructure.

Questions about this item
What happens when all 16 serial ports run at full speed for hours?
The ConnectPort 70002538 uses a single 100Base-TX uplink, so the 100 Mbit/s Ethernet pipe becomes the bottleneck long before the 16 RS-232 ports saturate.
How much heat or fan noise appears after a day of continuous operation?
No moving parts are fitted; the metal chassis dissipates heat passively, so the unit stays silent and only warm to the touch.
Which serial cables and power source must I have on hand before installing?
You need 16 straight-through RJ-45 serial cables and a 48 V DC supply that can deliver at least 1 A.
