I recently purchased a Coolgear USB-32COM-RM 32 Port RS-232 USB-to-Serial Adapter connected to a Thinkpad T490s running Mint 21.3. Some lsusb output:

Even though this is a 32-port device, I only see 16 /dev/ttyUSB devices:

Why do I only see 16 of the 32 ports? Update: I removed the case. Looks like the bottom 16 ports are working but not the top 16. I swapped one of the cables from a lower board to the top board and the front lights appeared on the top board rather than the lower board so I might just need to replace the cable. These look like USB cables but the connectors are different. The writing on the cable is "AWM 2725 80C 30V VW-1 E237114 USB(28AWGX1P+28AWGX2C) CABLETECH TECHNOLOGY". Anyone know where I can purchase these USB cables. I reached out to Coolgear as well and am waiting to hear back. enter image description here
