Four DB9 ports over one USB link

The ICUSB2324 adds four RS232 serial connections to a laptop or desktop through a single USB 2.0 Type B port. Each port presents a standard DB9 male connector for legacy instruments, industrial controllers or networking gear. The hub draws all power from the USB bus, so no external adapter is needed. It suits engineers and technicians who must talk to multiple serial devices at once.

Replaces a single-port adapter

Older machines often provide only one DB9 header or none at all; this hub multiplies that single USB connection into four independent serial channels. The upgrade is worthwhile when field service, lab automation or point-of-sale systems require simultaneous access to several RS232 endpoints. It is not for users who need only one occasional serial link or who require galvanic isolation between ports.

Steady throughput across all four channels under

The FTDI chipset maintains stable communication on every port during long logging sessions or continuous polling cycles. Bus-powered operation keeps the enclosure cool without a fan, and USB 1.1 compliance ensures broad host compatibility. The adapter does not suit applications that demand hardware handshaking lines beyond the standard RS232 set or that require sustained data rates above the USB 1.1 bulk endpoint limit.

Questions about this item

Will the single USB 2.0 Type B port on the ICUSB2324 fit my computer's USB 1.1 or 2.0 socket?

The adapter uses one USB 2.0 Type B female connector that is fully compliant with USB 1.1 specifications and compatible with USB 2.0 ports on any notebook or desktop.

What is the common mistake when installing the four DB9 serial ports on this bus-powered hub?

Users often forget to install the FTDI driver before plugging in the ICUSB2324; the four DB-9 male ports will not appear as COM ports until the driver loads.

Which part of the STARTECH ICUSB2324 is most likely to need replacement after heavy industrial use?

The four DB-9 male connectors endure repeated mating cycles and cable strain, so the serial port hardware itself is the component most likely to require replacement later.
