You only plug one USB cable into the computer and the device creates x number of virtual serial ports.

Here's another one that has 4 serial outlets

What exactly is the function of this device? Does it give you 8 separate serial 
ports? Or is it just a hub? Is it somehow different from plugging 8 
USB-to-serial cables into a computer?
Thanks!

There is also a Siig brand usb to serial port unit available in 2, 4 or 8 
serial ports that is far less expensive and works very well.
