  • Fast auto TX-enable RS232 to RS485 interface converter for 2-wire, half-duplex communications, in point-to-point or multi-drop communications networks, at distances up to 4000 ft. and data rates up to 115.2Kbps. Also, the unit is designed for extended operation to distances up to 12,000 ft. and data rates up to 38.4Kbps (typical).

  • Galvanic (Opto/Xformer) Isolation helps eliminate noise, and protects equipment from destructive transients found in industrial applications.

General Description:

The IRSFC24H is a fast Async bi-directional RS232 to RS485 interface converter for 2-wire, half-duplex applications, with an automatic TX enable circuit, that will operate at data rates up to 115.2Kbps. The unit has no jumpers and has been "tweeked" for extended distance operation. The unit has three LED indicators, a power screw terminal strip, an RS232 screw terminal strip, an RS485 screw terminal strip, and uses a limited slew rate transceivers. Galvanic isolation between the RS232 and RS485 helps to eliminate a wide variety of problems encountered in industrial and/or real world applications.

The IRSFC24H is designed for office and/or industrial applications, and provides superior characteristics/features normally found only on more expensive units. The IRSFC24H can be used in outdoor applications; however, many factors can affect reliable operations. Please call for additional information and/or peruse our Fiber Optic product line (compatible with our "copper" converters).

Need something special? Please contact us. We have additional isolated and non-isolated converters, repeaters, and repeater hubs. Units are generally stock to 2-3 business days for shipment. We design and manufacturer our entire product line, and offer technical support for our units, and can offer system recommendations for your application. Please give us a call: 513-874-4796
