Edgeport/416
The Edgeport/416 uses a standards-based USB bus for connectivity, unlike many serial card products
that require additional external proprietary hardware to support the same number of devices. This
Edgeport also supplies four USB ports, providing users with a built-in migration path as peripherals
become USB-ready. The converters can be rack mounted and easily daisy-chained together. This
Edgeport converter is available in two models: one with DB25 connectors and one with DB9
connectors. The two models are functionally equal, but differ in the type and placement of the
connectors.
