Black Box IC623A-M Async RS-232 to RS-485 Interface Converter, DB9 (M) to RJ-11 (F)

Convert async RS232 to RS485 at speeds up to 115.2 kbps with distances up to 4000 ft over CATx cables with the IC623A-M. This device is great for connecting RS232 devices into an existing RS485 environment in factory automation, building automation, and process automation.

Key Features

  • Transmit data up to 115 kbps or at distancesup to 4000 ft
  • Point-to-point or multipoint applications
  • 2-wire half-duplex or 4-wire half- or full-duplex
  • Async (data leads) only
  • Up to (32) RS-485 devices can be attached to create a large multi-drop network
  • The RS-485 driver is automatically enabled during each spacing state on the RS-232 side
  • The RS-232 connector is DB9 male; the RS-485 connector is RJ-11 female
  • Built-in silicon avalanche diode surge protection
  • Two internal 4-position DIP switches
Technology
CategorySerial Connectivity
ProtocolAsynchronous
Transmission DistanceBetween RS-232 device and converter: 50 ft. (15.2 m), but converters not directly attached will be underpowered; between non-RS-232 device and converter: 9 mi. (14.4 km)
