RS-232 hub for admin console

RouterOS General

Hi,

I need to connect multiple MikroTik devices into RS-232 hub to have persistent console access.
Do you think will this device serve the purpose? The hub will be connected to the server running Debian GNU/Linux.

Finally, I bought this device and I’m very happy with it:

It works perfectly in linux, here’s how it identifies:
