Description
This serial converter enables communication between RS232 equipment and long-range RS485 or RS422 networks. It is ideal for makers, students, and technicians extending serial data links across workstations or automation projects. The unit comes complete with an attachable terminal board for flexible and solderless wiring.
Extended transmission range
The module converts standard RS232 signals with a maximum reach of 5 metres into RS422 and RS485 differential signals capable of reaching up to 1200 metres. This makes it suitable for reliable long-distance data transmission in learning and prototyping environments.
Versatile connection options
It features a DB9 female connector on the RS232 side and a DB9 male connector on the RS485/RS422 side. An included screw-terminal board plugs directly into the DB9 male port for easy connection of bare wires.
Broad communication support
Supporting data transmission rates between 300 and 115,200bps, the converter operates in asynchronous, duplex, and differential transmission modes. It conforms to EIA/TIA RS232C and RS485/RS422 standards.
Operating specifications and form factor
The compact unit measures 95 x 33 x 17mm and functions reliably in ambient temperatures from 0 to 70°C with relative humidity between 5% and 95%.
