Designed with advanced galvanic isolation technology, the USG-2 ensures protection against ground loops and electrical faults, making it ideal for marine environments where safety and data integrity are paramount. Its robust construction and encapsulated electronics provide durability and stability, even in harsh conditions, while the high retention USB Type-B port guarantees secure connectivity. This gateway converts a standard USB port into a bi-directional serial interface capable of supporting baud rates from 300 to 230,400 bps, facilitating seamless data exchange between your PC and onboard marine systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward thanks to the pluggable screwless connector with a locking latch and strain relief, compatible with 12 to 24 AWG wires. The device is equipped with diagnostic LEDs for easy troubleshooting and supports both bulkhead and optional DIN rail mounting, making it adaptable to various installation environments. The USG-2's NMEA 0183 ports are fully compatible with standard talker and listener configurations, providing galvanic isolation and protection against voltage spikes, ESD, and short circuits. Its power is bus-powered from the USB connection, with a maximum current draw of 50mA, simplifying setup without requiring external power sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt with safety and environmental resilience in mind, the Actisense USG-2 meets EMC standards (EN 60945) and is rated IP67 for environmental protection. It operates efficiently across a wide temperature range from -25°C to +70°C and is suitable for both professional and recreational marine applications. The device is compatible with Windows XP through Windows 11, as well as Mac OS X, with drivers supplied on a CD and available on the Actisense website. With a compact weight of approximately 2.2 ounces and a durable ABS housing, the USG-2 delivers dependable performance in demanding conditions, backed by a three-year warranty, extendable to five years upon registration. Whether upgrading existing systems or implementing new setups, the USG-2 provides a safe, efficient, and easy-to-install interface for marine data connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatible with NMEA 0183, RS422, and RS232 protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGalvanic isolation via ISO-Drive technology ensures safety and ground loop elimination\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePluggable screwless connector with locking latch and strain relief for secure connections\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEncapsulated electronics for durability and protection against environmental factors\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh retention USB Type-B port for reliable data transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDiagnostic power LEDs for easy troubleshooting\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupports baud rates from 300 to 230,400 bps\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFlexible mounting options including bulkhead and DIN rail\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eInput and output protection against over-voltage, ESD, and short circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBus-powered from USB with a maximum current of 50mA\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFully compatible with Windows and Mac OS X operating systems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCertified to EMC standards and rated IP67 for environmental protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range from -25°C to +70°C for versatile deployment\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Actisense","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44529968349226,"sku":"59427","price":158.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/59427XL.jpg?v=1783098009","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/actisense-usg-2-isolated-usb-to-serial-gateway-for-nmea-0183-rs422-and-rs232-communication","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
