Moxa’s 8-port RS-232 connection boxes offer a reliable way to interface serial devices with host serial boards. Designed for flexibility, these boxes provide DB9, 8-pin RJ45, or DB25 connections, accommodating various system requirements.

The units are available with either DB62 or VHDCI 68 board-side connectors and include a 1.5-meter connection cable for easy integration. Each port is equipped with LED indicators (TxD/RxD) to monitor data activity. The OPT 8S models provide advanced ESD and EFT protection, making them well-suited for industrial environments.
