Sealevel Systems announces new additions to the popular SeaLINK® USB to serial product line: the SeaLINK/PC.SC (one-port) and SeaLINK+2/PC.SC (two-port)
embedded USB to serial adapter with a PC bracket perfect for adding
serial ports to any PC using the computer's internal USB connection.
The serial ports are software configurable for RS-232, RS-422, or
RS-485, which eliminates the need for an external converter and
provides a clean, professional installation.
All configuration
and electrical interface selections are handled through the driver
software, so you never need to shut down your computer or open the
system enclosure to set jumpers or dipswitches. Additionally, the
devices maintain their electrical interface settings in hardware,
allowing the host computer to be repaired or upgraded without
reconfiguring the serial ports.
The serial ports on each
SeaLINK adapter appear as standard COM ports to the host computer
enabling compatibility with legacy software. All Sealevel SeaLINK USB
serial adapters use a state-machine architecture that greatly reduces
the host computer's overhead when communicating over multiple serial
ports simultaneously while supporting data rates to 921.6K bps.
All
SeaLINK products ship with the Sealevel Systems SeaCOM™ suite of
Windows drivers and diagnostic utilities. WinSSD, a full-featured
application providing powerful testing and diagnostic capabilities, is
also included. Use WinSSD for BERT (Bit Error Rate Testing), throughput
monitoring, loopback tests, and transmit test pattern messages.
Standard operating temperature range for SeaLINK products is 0 - +70°C,
and extended temperature range (-40° - +85°C) models are available.
Both models include a standard sized PC bracket and ship with an internal USB cable (Item# CA260)
that is compatible with ATX, Mini-ITX, and similar large motherboards
with 0.1" USB header connectors. For smaller motherboards, an internal
USB cable with a 2mm header connector (Item# CA383) is available as an option. Both items are available immediately from stock priced at $179 for the SeaLINK/PC.SC (Item# 2128) and $229 for the SeaLINK+2/PC.SC (Item# 2228). Like all Sealevel I/O products, the adapters are backed by a lifetime warranty.
