Four-port industrial USB-to-serial converter

The UOTEK UT-860 adds four DB9 male RS-232 ports to a single USB 2.0 connection. It is built for automation engineers, legacy equipment integrators and field technicians who need reliable serial links without external power supplies. The monolithic ASIC design handles UART conversion with zero-delay auto receive and transmit switching.

Sustained 2 Mbps throughput

The converter maintains up to 2 Mbps transmission rates across all four ports simultaneously. Auto-handshake protocol and built-in I/O circuit auto-control manage data-flow direction continuously, preventing buffer overruns during long transfers. USB bus power delivers stable operation without voltage drops that can corrupt extended sessions. Operating temperature spans -40 to 85 °C at 5 to 95 % relative humidity.

DB9 connectors and wide OS support for drop

Each port presents a standard DB9 male connector compatible with existing RS-232 cables and panel mounts. The adapter draws power directly from the USB-B upstream port, eliminating separate power bricks and reducing cabinet wiring. Driver support covers Windows 2000 through 10, Windows CE, Mac and Linux, allowing plug-and-play integration into mixed-OS environments. Status LEDs show power and per-port data activity at a glance.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the UT-860 generate when all four COM ports run continuously?

The converter operates from -40 to 85 °C and is USB powered, so it draws only bus power and has no fan or external supply.

What must my computer provide for the UT-860 to work without an extra power brick?

A single USB 1.1 or 2.0 Type-B port supplies both data and the 5 V bus power the adapter needs.

Will the UT-860 talk to legacy gear that only runs at 300 bps?

Yes, the baud-rate range is 300 to 921.6 Kbps, covering very slow and fast serial equipment alike.
