Black Box IC631A-F Async RS-232 to RS-422 Interface Converter, DB9 to RJ-45

The RS-422 interface is wonderful. Devices with this interface support high speeds and very long distances, and they communicate very reliably. There’s just one problem: This interface isn't native to PCs or to most of today’s office equipment. If you want a modular, inexpensive, compact, and powerful solution to this dilemma, look no further. The IC631A-F Async RS-232 Interface Converter is designed to plug directly into the RS-232 serial ports of PCs and other devices, effectively turning that port into an RS-422 port. It doesn't require AC power or batteries; it operates using just the small voltage present on the RS-232 data and control leads.

The IC631A is designed to translate between RS-232 and RS-422. The IC631A-F supports data rates up to 19,200 bps and non-RS-232 distances up to 4000 ft. This model has DB9 RS-232 connectors and is always DCE.
