Hi I have both FoxBoard and linkusb (it's based on FTDI chip). FTDI is supported by foxboard, so LinkUSB is recognized.

We are using Link serial in production, and USB was just a demo present from manufacturer. Maybe they can send you demo as well. I don't have sensors with rj-45 connectors lying around to test the actual working. However if really necessary this can be easily done.
