Overview

USB TO 4CH RS232 is an industrial USB to RS232 isolated converter, featuring the original FT4232HL. It has onboard protection circuits such as built-in power isolation, ADI magnetical isolation, and TVS diode. With an aluminum alloy case, USB TO 4CH RS232 offers simple operation, zero-delay automatic transmission and reception conversion, and boasts characteristics such as fast, stable, reliable, and safe communication.

Features

  • Onboard Original FT232RNL chip. Fast communication, stable and reliable, better compatibility.
  • Supports USB to 4-ch isolated RS232, convenient for expanding multiple RS232 industrial serial devices.
  • Onboard unibody power supply isolation, provides stable isolated voltage, needs no extra power supply for the isolated terminal.
  • Onboard TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppresses surge voltage and transient spike voltage in the circuit, lightning-proof & anti-electrostatic.
  • Onboard resettable fuse and protection diodes, ensure the current/voltage stable outputs, provide over-current/over-voltage proof, and improve shockproof performance.
  • Onboard power supply screw terminal, allows 5V~36V DC wide-range input
  • 9x LEDs for indicating the power and transceiver status.
  • ABS case design, small in size, easy to use, portable and cost-effective
