The
RPT-485_422-2 is a compact, rugged, industrial-grade, bi-directional
RS-485 to RS-422 Converter, which can be used to convert a two-wire RS-485 signal into a four-wire RS-422 signal, and vice versa. It can also be used to extend the RS-485 or RS-422 distance to up to 4000 ft (1.2km).
This TUV strictly-certified (Cert No. SG-CE-090012) industrial RS485 to RS422 converter / repeater is enclosed in a rugged, rustless ABS housing. It operates within a temperature range of -40F to 185F (-40C to 85C), and features 600W surge protection and 15kV static protection. The unit is powered from an external 5VDC regulated power supply; it supports data direction auto-turnaround. Therefore, it requires no software drivers or flow control, making the unit a highly reliable and truly plug-and-play device and an ideal solution for all types of commercial / industrial installations. The unit is backed by our 30-day risk-free money-back guarantee and 5-year replacement warranty.
A separate external 5VDC regulated power supply is included in the package.
Baud rates: 300 to 115.2K Baud.

Knowledge Base: Industrial vs. Commercial-Grade
Just as there are many differences between industrial- and commercial-grade computers, the industrial- and commercial-grade converters differ in many ways, such as the level of circuit protection, temperature range and noise tolerance. Most importantly, industrial-grade converters are much more durable and the failure rates are much lower than commercial-grade converters. Industrial-grade converters are designed to interface with mission-critical equipment, such as computers, PLC, SCADA and HMI - whether in the field, server room, factory, control room, or fire command center.
