Yes. Exactly. 8 separate serial ports fed from a single USB port.
There are many different types of these devices. The one I use has one
USB connector and 4 cables with DB9 connectors already attached - which
makes it very convenient to hook up everything requiring a serial port
with one cable. I think it cost about $50 on Amazon and other places.

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!
