Re: Useful Gadget of the Week: USB to 4 RS-232 Serial Ports

I believe that there are latching USB plugs available, obviously you
need to have connectors that support this at both ends. I think as
things stand only A/B plugs support this. I'll try and find more details.

Once again, this is an area that highlights the brilliance of an RJ45
connector :)
