The CAT5 RS-232 Extender is a low cost, hardware-based solution providing remote access and control of any RS-232 protocol device. With regular RS-232 devices you are limited to an immediate area of control. The CAT5 RS-232 Extender extends control to over 1000m/3,300 ft. This provides you with a tremendous amount of flexibility in your topology. Now you can place RS-232 devices in any location you want and control them remotely. The RS-232 Extender also provides full duplex transmission and is compatible with all RS-232 protocols.
Multiple Applications
Thanks to its powerful functionality the CAT5 RS-232 Extender is an excellent solution for a variety of applications and environments. For example:
* Place a touch screen outdoors and have it control a computer indoors (with KVM extender)
* Control a third party presentation unit remotely
* Transfer data or files between computers
Easy To Install
Installing the Extender is quick and easy. Thanks to its simple architecture all you do is plug and play! The system itself is composed of two units both made of sturdy metal casing:
* Local Unit
* Remote Unit
The two units are connected via standard CAT5 cable. Because the CAT5 is extremely thin it is easy to install and does not create cable clutter. A single power supply is used to power the system and it can be placed at either end depending on where it is most convenient.
