Introduction
The SeaISO USB Isolator is a device that provides galvanic separation between USB devices
and host control systems. It is powered from the host system and allows energy transfer
over the isolation barrier to the slave device. The Isolator is a USB 2.0 compatible device
connecting with the host over a high-speed link and featuring full speed (12 Mbit/s)
connection to the isolated slave device.
Model ISO-1 is a standard version enclosed in an ABS plastic case dedicated mainly for
industrial use. Model ISO-1R is a custom ruggedized version featuring cable “bump”
design and sealed TPE overmold for environmental protection in medical applications.
