Actisense USG-2 Isolated USB to Serial Gateway NMEA 0183 RS422 RS232

The Actisense USG-2 is a professional-grade isolated USB to serial gateway designed specifically for marine electronics and NMEA 0183 data communication. This advanced converter transforms any USB port into a bi-directional serial interface compatible with NMEA 0183, RS422, and RS232 protocols, providing a safe and reliable connection for marine navigation systems.

Superior Electrical Isolation:

Unlike standard USB to serial converters, the USG-2 features comprehensive electrical isolation to protect your equipment and eliminate ground loops. The proprietary ISO-Drive™ output provides 1500V isolation, while the OPTO-isolated input offers 2500V isolation protection. This dual-isolation design safeguards connected equipment from the most common electrical faults found in marine environments.

Enhanced Signal Reception:

The Actisense OPTO-isolation circuitry on the input is engineered to receive very low-level signals that standard PC serial ports often cannot detect, ensuring reliable data communication even in challenging conditions.

Key Features:

• NMEA 0183, RS422, and RS232 compatible protocols
• ISO-Drive™ technology for superior output isolation (1500V)
• OPTO-isolated input with 2500V protection
• Encapsulated electronics for marine environment durability
• High-retention USB socket with water-resistant design
• Pluggable screwless connector with locking latch and strain relief
• Diagnostic LEDs for power (blue), receive (green), and transmit (orange)
• Wide baud rate support from 300 to 230,400 bps
• Bulkhead mounting with optional DIN rail mount kit available
• High-quality shielded USB cable included

The USG-2's diagnostic LED system makes troubleshooting simple: the blue power LED illuminates solid when the USB driver loads successfully, while the green and orange LEDs indicate active data reception and transmission respectively. The rugged design and professional mounting options make the USG-2 ideal for permanent marine installations.
