The Moxa NPort 5650-16 is a 16-port rackmount serial device server designed for high-density serial-to-IP deployments. It’s the right pick when you want to consolidate a lot of RS-232/422/485 devices into a clean rack layout with consistent cabling and power (100 to 240 VAC).

Why We Love This Product

• Sixteen serial ports in a single rackmount unit—built for dense legacy environments
• RS-232/422/485 support covers mixed device fleets and retrofit projects
• RJ45 serial connectors help keep wiring organised and service-friendly
• Wide-range 100 to 240 VAC input suits standard rack power distribution

How Our Customers Use It

• Consolidating serial endpoints from multiple panels into a single comms rack
• Reducing device sprawl—one unit instead of many single/dual-port device servers
• Standardising serial-to-IP access for SCADA, monitoring, and remote maintenance
• Building repeatable rack templates for multi-site OT rollouts

Choosing Tips

• Choose the 5650-16 when you need higher port density or want room to grow without adding another chassis
• If you only need a handful of ports, the 8-port model can be the better value and simpler to manage
• For single-device use cases, a compact 1-port or 2-port device server is usually the cleanest solution
