A new hardware version (v2) of the USA-49WG was released in 2015, and it requires a different Windows driver
than was used in the previous version (v1). The Mac drivers are the same for both the v1 and v2 models. In the
Support tab on this web page you will find zip folders for both the v1 and v2 USA-49WG Windows drivers. In
addition to including the applicable driver, it contains a file that will tell you how to determine which hardware
version you have, and therefore, which driver you need to use.

Adapter Hub
MODEL NUMBER: USA-49WG
Description
Keyspan by Tripp Lite’s USA-49WG USB 4-Port Serial Adapter is a simple, reliable, inexpensive solution for
connecting serial devices to your USB computer. It’s the easy way to add serial ports to a computer without the
hassle of installing a serial card, turning off the PC, or connecting an external power adapter. The USA-49WG
draws power directly from your computer through the USB connection.
Simply plug it into the USB port of your computer using the included cable, install the software and you’re ready
to connect up to four serial devices. Five LEDs (one red, four green) display the USB and DB9 port status at a
glance. Featuring data transfer rates up to 460 Kbps, the USA-49WG can be used with any RS-232 serial
device—networking equipment, modems, GPS devices, cell phones, hand-held scanners, point-of-sale systems,
touch screens, medical and scientific instruments, industrial process control devices, UPS systems and more.
