Review: Rugged Multiport Serial Adapter with Win 7 drivers - Great adapter, very rugged, saves USB ports on your machine. Only oddity is that the Windows 7 64-bit driver numbers the ports a little weirdly. On my machine, the ports are COM20 through COM27. The correspondence between COM and unit labelling is: COM20 is 2, COM21 is 1, COM22 is 4, COM23 is 3, etc. I have used up to six of the eight ports and have had no reliability issues or disconnects for hours at a time. Drives 50 foot serial cables with no problems. I do use an external power supply most of the time, but don't think I really need it. Review: Excellent multi serial port device - Had a bit of trouble matching COM ports to physical ports. After the first device the remaining devices worked great! ## Features - INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH: Built to withstand harsh environments, this 8 port USB to serial RS232 adapter has a rugged all-metal enclosure for added durability in industrial settings - COM RETENTION CAPABILITIES: For added convenience, this FTDI USB to DB9 RS232 hub features COM retention so COM port assignments are maintained during reboots - PLUG AND PLAY INSTALLATION: This DB9 serial converter is powered by an available USB port / cable so no external power adapter is required - INSTALLATION OPTIONS: This USB serial adapter has integrated wall mount brackets and included DIN Rail clips for versatile mounting options - THE IT PRO'S CHOICE: Designed and built for IT Professionals, this 8 port FTDI USB to serial DB9 RS232 adapter is backed for 2-years, including free lifetime 24/5 multi-lingual technical assistance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009AT5TB2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #43 in Serial Adapters | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Monitor | | Connector Type | Serial Adapter | | Current Rating | 3 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 69 Reviews | | Finish | Metallic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030848978, 07887117187229 | | Input Voltage | 5 volts | | Item Dimensions | 7.1 x 3.9 x 1.7 inches | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 7.1 x 3.9 x 1.7 inches | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Mfr Part Number | ICUSB2328I | | Model Number | ICUSB2328I | | Nominal Power | 250 Milliwatts | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 8 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 906964037963 013862090539 065030848978 559886092710 851975713996 163120571352 168141525971 044111289039 115970727526 042111893751 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Years | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Monitor - **Connector Type:** Serial Adapter - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.1 x 3.9 x 1.7 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech 8-Port USB to Serial RS232 Hub, Industrial, TAA (ICUSB2328I) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81L02bSGxbL.jpg) ![StarTech 8-Port USB to Serial RS232 Hub, Industrial, TAA (ICUSB2328I) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bVRDgTa3L.jpg) ![StarTech 8-Port USB to Serial RS232 Hub, Industrial, TAA (ICUSB2328I) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OzzAme0VL.jpg) ![StarTech 8-Port USB to Serial RS232 Hub, Industrial, TAA (ICUSB2328I) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UZZTAw6pL.jpg) ![StarTech 8-Port USB to Serial RS232 Hub, Industrial, TAA (ICUSB2328I) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71upH3JxyUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this give "true" rs232 ~12v signals on pin 2 and 3 rather than just 5v? also it says "no power outlet required" but there is a plug?! what gives?** A: Technically the original spec has been modified many times. In 1981 when I first dealt with it, the values were 15 volts positive and negative. Thanks to the IBM PC that only had 12 volts positive and negative, many people mistakenly think that is the standard. Currently the standard will accept positive and negative 25 volts, with any signal above 3 volts or below negative 3 volts being valid (that value has not changed). I know and understand what you are asking for, a non-TTL signal level. I am ordering this myself and will let you know. **Q: Is this taa compliant?** A: The country of origin is Taiwan. The company does has not posted a TAA cert. It is however, RoHS compliant and FFC approved. You may contact Star Tech for further info at Tel: (800)265-1844. As a product, I recommend it very highly. Sorry I cannot answer more directly. **Q: Can i assign coms? for example ch1 = com1 ... ch16 = com16** A: Yes, you will be able to assign / change COM ports with the ICUSB23216FD. The ICUSB23216FD also supports COM port retention, which retains the assigned serial COM port values. Atha, StarTech.com Support **Q: Doesn't seem to come with the power cable. Is there a name for that type of power cable?** A: ICUSB2322I pulls power from the USB host and does not require a power adapter. If the preference is to use a power adapter, any 5V, 0.5A (or higher) with an M barrel connector will work.

After the first device the remaining devices worked great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Well, Most of the Time *by F***E on August 31, 2018* Good solid product but under Win7, it will periodically disconnect and reconnect, using the next group of comm ports. This can get real annoying if you are running apps that are expecting a specific comm port and suddenly it changes. Sometimes you can disconnect it, wait a bit, reconnect it and it will go back to the original/correct comm ports. It that doesn't work, you need a reboot. When not being crazy, it works very well. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 8 Port USB to Serial RS232 Adapter - Wall Mount - Din Rail - COM Port Retention - FTDI USB to DB9 RS232 Hub , TAA (ICUSB2328I) - StarTech.com 4 Port USB to Serial RS232 Adapter - Wall Mount - Din Rail - COM Port Retention - FTDI USB to DB9 RS232 Hub , TAA (ICUSB2324I) - StarTech.com 10' RS232 Serial Null Modem Cable - Null modem cable - DB-9 (F) to DB-9 (F) - 10 ft (SCNM9FF) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/6503023-startech-8-port-usb-to-serial-rs232-hub-industrial-taa](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/6503023-startech-8-port-usb-to-serial-rs232-hub-industrial-taa) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
