How to Buy

Digi Edgeport® USB-to-serial converters offer instant I/O expansion for peripheral device connectivity.

An out-of-the-box (external) alternative to PCI cards, Edgeport makes it easy to add serial and USB ports to a PC, server or thin client in minutes – without opening the chassis, reconfiguring or rebooting the system.

Edgeport is available in multiple configurations for maximum flexibility and scalability.

Choose from compact form factors for space-prohibitive applications; single port “bump-in-the-cable” solutions for notebook expansion; software-selectable RS-232/422/485 models to connect any type of serial device to one box; and DB-9 or DB-25 connectors to meet cabling requirements.

Feature-rich design, reliability and unmatched operating system support make Edgeport USB-to-serial converters ideal for mission-critical enterprise applications.
