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 2000M. 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.
Features:
Extends any RS232 compliant devices up to 2000 meters at 115200bps
