Tripp Lite USA-49WG Usb Serial Adapter 4-port

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE USA-49WG is a 4-port USB to serial adapter designed to expand serial connectivity from a single USB host port. It converts one USB connection into four independent RS-232 serial ports, allowing technicians and IT professionals to connect multiple serial devices simultaneously. This adapter is suited for applications where legacy serial equipment must interface with modern computers that lack native COM ports. The unit ships as a single piece and fits into networking and infrastructure environments where serial communication is still required.

The USA-49WG is used in commercial and light industrial settings where multiple serial devices such as controllers, routers, switches, managed equipment, or legacy instrumentation need to be connected to a single workstation or server. It is a common solution in network equipment rooms, control panels, and service bench setups where USB ports are available but serial ports are absent.

Key Features

• 4 independent serial ports from a single USB host connection
• Enables legacy RS-232 serial device integration with modern USB-equipped systems
• Compact adapter form factor suited for rack rooms and bench service environments

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by IT professionals or field technicians familiar with serial and USB connectivity. Power down or safely suspend connected serial devices before attaching or detaching the adapter to avoid data corruption or port errors. Driver installation may be required on the host system prior to connecting serial devices. Follow applicable facility network and low-voltage wiring codes when integrating into permanent equipment installations.
