The Moxa UPort 1130I is a 1-port USB-to-serial converter supporting RS-422/485 isolated at baudrates up to 921.6 kbps with 2 kV isolation. Drivers ship for Windows, macOS, Linux, WinCE, and Android, plus virtual-machine support for VMware Fusion/ESXi and Parallels Desktop.
The Moxa UPort 1130I is a 1-port USB Type A to RS-422/485 converter with 2 kV isolation, built for engineers who need to connect legacy or field serial devices to laptops, workstations, and servers that no longer ship with a native COM port. It supports baudrates from 50 bps up to 921.6 kbps and data bits, stop bits, and parity spanning every common serial configuration. The compact ABS + polycarbonate housing fits in a laptop bag and travels with the engineer.
Moxa supplies drivers covering every major desktop and server operating system produced in the last two decades. Windows users get virtual-COM drivers that present the converter as a standard COM port to existing applications. Linux support spans kernel 2.4.x through 6.x, covering long-life embedded targets and current distributions. macOS is supported through 10.15 (Catalina). Arm-based hosts (Apple Silicon via virtualisation, Windows 11 on Arm, and Arm Linux) are covered via current drivers, so the device works across mixed-architecture fleets.
