OVERVIEW

USB is the connectivity standard for today’s PCs, replacing familiar 

serial ports. However, many commercial and industrial devices still use 
RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 interfaces. To connect these devices to 
modern PCs, you need simple and reliable converters.

version in a space-saving package. Simply plug the converter into an 
available USB port on your computer or USB hub and install the drivers

tional COM port in the Windows Device Manager.

Recognize any of these situations?

•  You wait more than 30 minutes to get through 

to a vendor’s tech support.

•  The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you 

the wrong answer.

•  You don’t have a purchase order number and the 

tech refuses to help you.

•  It’s 9 p.m. and you need help, but your vendor’s 

tech support line is closed.

According to a survey by Data Communi cations magazine, 90% 

of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support 
they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even 
though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their 
overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the 
technical support and service they receive falls far short of their 
expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.

At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support. 

You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if 
you need help selecting just the right component for your application.

Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
