Industrial RS232 to RS485 Converters

 
 

CommFront offers a range of rugged, industrial-grade, easy-to-use, standard (non-isolated) or opto-isolated, port or externally-powered RS232 to RS485 converters. These industry-proven RS232 to RS485 converter products are designed to interface with mission-critical equipment, such as computers, PLC, SCADA and HMI. Whether your environment is in the field, server room, factory, control room, or fire command center, "clean" or "noisy", these popular RS232 to RS485 converter products provide safe, reliable, simple, and cost-effective solutions for your data-conversion and device-protection applications. We back our high-quality products with a 30-day risk-free money-back guarantee and a 5-year replacement warranty.

* A "noisy" environment is an area surrounded by ground loops, transient surges, remote lightning and spikes, which could potentially harm your expensive equipment such as computers and data communication devices. The CommFront opto-isolated RS232 to RS485 converter products provide simple and effective ways to protect your devices from such potential harms.
