{"product_id":"usg-2","title":"Actisense Isolated USB To Serial Gateway for use with NMEA 0183, RS422 and RS232","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Actisense USG-2 turns a PC USB port into a bi-directional serial port suitable for connecting to a marine standard NMEA 0183 data bus. It provides a far safer connection than an ordinary USB-to-serial converter, using an OPTO-isolated input and an ISO-Drive isolated output to keep the PC and the boat's electronics electrically separate and free from the ground loops that damage connected equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe isolated input uses Actisense OPTO-isolation circuitry to protect connected devices and can receive the very low level signals that a standard PC serial port often cannot. Fully NMEA 0183, RS422 and RS232 compatible, the USG-2 supports baud rates from 300 to 230400 bps, and its encapsulated, potted electronics give a high level of water and ingress protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA high quality shielded USB lead is included, mating with a high-retention USB socket for a secure, water-resistant connection, and a pluggable screwless connector with locking latch makes the NMEA side quick to wire. Three LEDs confirm power and data activity, and the unit mounts to a bulkhead with an optional DIN rail kit available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Actisense","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55951182823764,"sku":"USG-2","price":112.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9702\/3060\/files\/legacy-0d2c2984.png?v=1781903805","url":"https:\/\/hudsonmarine.co.uk\/products\/usg-2","provider":"Hudson Marine Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
