StarTech.com ICUSB234858I — 8-Port Industrial USB to RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 Serial Hub
8x DB-9, RS-232 / 422 / 485 per portUp to 921.6 kbpsFTDI FT4232H36 W universal adapter included
The StarTech.com ICUSB234858I is an eight-port USB-to-serial hub for panels with a lot of legacy equipment: eight DB-9 ports, each switchable between RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485, on FTDI silicon, in an IP30 steel DIN-rail case with a 36 W universal adapter in the box. It connects PLCs, drives, meters, scales and instruments to one USB 2.0 port on a modern PC.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is a serial adapter, not a USB hub: the eight ports are DB-9 serial. StarTech’s connector table also lists one USB-A port whose purpose it does not explain, so do not plan around it. The adapter is included (12 V / 3 A, plugs for NA, JP, UK, EU and ANZ); the unit can also run from 5 V USB power. StarTech does not publish how the per-port mode is selected or the RS-485 termination details. FTDI drivers cover current and legacy Windows, Linux and macOS.

Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
Eight configurable serial ports with the adapter in the box makes this the panel-scale version of the four-port ICUSB234854I; for a single console port on a laptop, StarTech’s 5G2A1SGBB-USB-C-HUB with its RS-232 port is the light option. FTDI silicon keeps legacy software happy on all of them. For the USB and network sides of the same cabinet see our USB hubs and network switches. Not sure your computer, cabinet supply or cable fits?
