The Moxa Connection Boxes are designed to provide a convenient and organized method of connecting up to eight RS-232 serial devices to multiport serial boards. Each model is equipped with DB9, 8-pin RJ45, or DB25 connectors, offering flexibility in industrial setups requiring multiple serial device connections.

With clear TxD/RxD LED indicators for every port, robust form factors, and optional surge protection, these boxes simplify cabling and provide reliable signal management in RS-232-based applications.
