Introduction
The RS232EXTC1 Serial over Cat 5 Extender allows you to increase the distance of
your RS232 Serial connection by up to 1000 meters (3300 feet), giving you the ability
to connect serial peripheral devices up to a kilometer away from your system - an
incredible 65x greater than normal RS232 serial cable length restrictions would permit.
The Extender is a cost-eective serial extension solution and completely hardware-
based, eliminating the need to install additional software, allowing for a completely
plug and play installation. The hardware can be setup in minutes, using existing or new
Cat 5 or better Ethernet cabling.
Perfect for use in industrial monitoring and control, POS, security, medical, and trac
ow applications, the RS232 Serial over Cat 5 extender maintains the RS232 standard
with support for data transfer rates of up to 230 Kbps.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
