The USB Directors RS-232 have a Type B USB
connector for a cable running from the USB port of a
computer, USB hub, or USB switch. They’ll also have
one (product code IC1000A), two (IC1001A), four
(IC135A), or eight (IC1002A) DB9 male RS-232 ports,
pinned like the serial ports on a PC, to which you can
connect your RS-232 devices. The USB Directors allow
you to control one or more RS-232 devices without using
the RS-232 ports on your computer. All models except
