• Dual Ethernet ports for maximum flexibility — Supports failover redundancy or pass-through networking, giving IT teams greater control over network reliability.
• Robust connectivity options — Features four RS-232/422/485 serial connections, dual Ethernet, and built-in Wi-Fi for seamless integration across multiple network environments.
• LTE-ready for ultimate mobility — Fully compatible with Digi CORE® plug-in LTE modems, allowing for flexible cellular connectivity when needed.
• Enterprise-grade security — Built-in Digi TrustFence® provides authentication, secure connections, and ongoing monitoring to support cyber threat protection.
• Click-to-connect simplicity — Configurable in minutes and booting up in seconds, Digi Connect EZ with PoE supports rapid network expansion.
• Protocol support for industrial applications — With support for industry-standard protocols like Modbus, the Digi Connect EZ family is built for robotics, automation, and industrial equipment that requires seamless serial-to-network communication.

The Digi Connect EZ product family is trusted for robotics, automation, industrial equipment, and point-of-sale applications, delivering seamless network connectivity and remote access to native COM ports. With a built-in Python environment for application development, the new PoE-enabled model expands the capabilities of the entire lineup.
