Details
The RPT-232-3 is a compact, rugged, industrial-grade, optically-isolated, port-powered RS-232 data repeater (TX, RX, and GND) that works in pairs to extend full-duplex RS-232 distance up to 4,000 feet (1.2 km). The 2,500V opto-isolation circuitry effectively protects your RS-232 devices from ground loops, noise problems, transient surges, remote lightning, and spikes. The unit is efficiently powered directly from the RS-232 data line, and the full-duplex RS-232 to full-duplex current loop conversion eliminates the need of auto-turnaround feature. Therefore, it requires no external power supply, software drivers, or flow control, making it an ideal solution for extending, protecting, and isolating RS-232 devices connected between two different locations. This product operates within a temperature range of -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C) and features 600W surge protection and 15kV static protection, making it an ideal solution for harsh industrial applications.
CommFront's products quality is ensured by our ISO-9001 quality control system (Cert No. SG12/04213, strictly certified by SGS), and we back our high-quality products with a 5-year replacement warranty and a 30-day risk-free money-back guarantee.
