Minicom Cat5 RS-232 Extender Provides remote access and control of any RS-232 protocol device to over 3,300 feet

The Cat5 RS-232 Extender is a low cost, hardware-based solution providing remote access and control of any RS-232 protocol device. Usually with RS-232 devices, you are limited to an immediate area of control. However, this Cat5 RS-232 Extender extends control to over 3,300 feet (1,000 meters). 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 RS232 protocols.

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: the Local Unit and the Remote Unit. The two units are connected via standard Cat5 cable. Because Cat5 is extremely thin, it is easy to install and does not create cable clutter. A single supply powers the system, and can be placed at either end, whichever is more convenient. This low cost, pure hardware solution has real-time data transfer with no software conflicts, and features full duplex data communication. Click here for more information.
