The Moxa NPort 5250A is a 2-port serial device server that brings RS-232/422/485 devices onto an IP network for remote access and integration. With a 0 to 60°C operating temperature range, it’s a dependable choice for typical industrial cabinets and plant environments where you want multi-serial flexibility without jumping to a rackmount unit.
Why We Love This Product
- Two ports with RS-232/422/485 support—ideal for mixed serial device fleets
- 0 to 60°C operating range suits most OT panels and control cabinets
- Cleaner and more scalable than using USB adapters or one-off serial extenders
- Great “small site” pick when you need more than one port but not a rackmount chassis
How Our Customers Use It
- Putting serial instruments, meters, and controllers onto Ethernet for monitoring
- Connecting RS-485/RS-422 field devices to SCADA or central applications over IP
- Remote servicing workflows for legacy serial devices without replacing them
- Small-scale modernisation projects where a compact, industrial device server is preferred
Choosing Tips
- Choose NPort 5250A when you need two ports and want RS-232/422/485 flexibility
- If you only need RS-232, the NPort 5210A is a simpler, more focused fit
- If you only need one serial device on Ethernet, the NPort 5150A/5110A single-port options reduce cost and complexity
