DTECH RS232 to RS485 Converter Serial Adapter with 4 Position Terminal Block for Long Haul Data Communication Supports 600W Anti-Surge.

RS232 to RS485 converters are mostly used in industrial and commercial environments. The reason is that the RS485 converter can be used for multidrop networks, meaning that you for example can connect multiple RS485 devices to one computer. Up to 32 devices can be connected in one network to communicate on a single pair of wires (plus a ground wire. This type of communication is called halfduplex communication. Most quality RS485 converters can communicate in this manner of up to 4000 feet (1200 meters. RS232 to RS485 serial converter is also fairly resistant to noise which is one more reason why it is favored in industrial environments. Guard Your Value Equipment A builtin transient voltage suppressor (TVSsupports 600W antisurge, effectively guard your value devices from the hazards of transient surges, lightning. No Driver Required Auto control data flow direction of I/O circuit feature makes it fully plugandplay. PortPower No external power supply required, it is portpowered from RS232 data lines and low consumption electricity.
