16-Port Serial Device Server
The Moxa NPort 5650-16 converts sixteen RS-232/422/485 serial ports to a single 10/100 Ethernet connection. It fits a standard 19-inch rack and is aimed at engineers integrating legacy PLCs, meters or controllers into modern TCP/IP networks.
Sustained Multi-Port Operation
Each port handles continuous bidirectional traffic through socket modes including TCP server, TCP client, UDP and Real COM. Front-panel Tx/Rx LEDs give immediate visibility of data flow on all sixteen channels during long-running industrial shifts.
Replaces Direct Serial Cabling
The unit removes the distance limit of point-to-point serial wiring by bridging devices over Ethernet infrastructure. The upgrade is worthwhile when existing equipment uses RJ45 8-pin serial interfaces and requires 15 kV ESD protection in electrically noisy environments.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the NPort 5650-16 generate when all 16 serial ports run continuously?
The unit accepts 100-240 VAC or 88-300 VDC power and uses a standard 19-inch rackmount chassis, so it fits normal server-room cooling without special requirements.
What cables or connectors must I already have to hook up the 16 RJ45 serial ports?
You need RJ45 cables wired for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485; each of the 16 rear-panel ports uses an 8-pin RJ45 connector for those signal types.
Will the 10/100 Ethernet port on the NPort 5650-16 work with my older 10BASE-T switch?
Yes, the auto-sensing 10/100M Ethernet port negotiates down to 10 Mbps, so it connects directly to legacy 10BASE-T infrastructure.
