Unlock modern network connectivity for your legacy industrial devices with the EthLinx family. These innovative converters act as standard USB network adapters (RNDIS/CDC-ECM), eliminating the need for complex drivers while providing robust, galvanically isolated RS-485 or a simple overvoltage protected UART communication. Configure baud rates, parity, and other settings effortlessly through an intuitive web-based interface, accessible from any browser on your computer.
EthLinx: Seamlessly Bridge TCP/IP and serial interfaces via USB
Forget cumbersome serial port drivers and compatibility headaches. EthLinx devices present themselves as standard network interfaces to your Windows, Linux, or macOS computer. This modern approach simplifies integration, allowing you to communicate with your RS-485 or UART devices using standard TCP/IP protocols over a virtual Ethernet connection, making setup faster and more reliable across different platforms.
EthLinx transforms industrial connectivity, merging the simplicity of modern networking with the robustness required for serial interfaced systems.
A Model for Every Application
The EthLinx line offers various performance, interface types and channel count options to precisely match your project requirements. Whether you need straightforward single-device communication or high-throughput connections for multiple data streams, there’s an EthLinx converter built for the task:

Our standard, cost-effective isolated single-channel converter for reliable everyday communication. Limited to 500kBd transfer rate and a standard 4kB TCP Window buffer.
Doubles the connectivity with two independent standard non-isolated (but still highly overvoltage protected) UART serial channels offering speeds up to 2MBd per channel and a standard 4kB TCP Window buffer.Â
Steps up performance with a high-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) interface for demanding, high performance isolated single-channel applications, with up to 15MBd speeds. The Pro also brings 4x larger TCP Window buffer.Â
Also uses a high-speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) interface for high performance isolated dual-channel applications, with up to 15MBd speeds. The Pro also brings 4x larger TCP Window buffer.Â
Tailored Solutions & Customization
While the EthLinx family offers exceptional flexibility out-of-the-box, we understand unique challenges require unique solutions. Leveraging the powerful microcontroller platform within EthLinx, we offer customization services to meet specific user requirements. Let us adapt EthLinx for your project.
We can integrate custom data decoding protocols directly on the device, adapt the firmware for non-standard communication buses, implement high-level data processing routines, or tweak the web UI to better suit your workflow or branding. Contact us to discuss how we can tailor the EthLinx platform to perfectly fit your application needs.
