RS-232
RS-232 PRODUCTS
(Synchronous and Asynchronous)
The RS-232 SHARING PRODUCTS (MODEM SHARING, PORT SHARING, and CABLING HUBS) are normally used on polled main frame type networks where the terminals or a cluster controller have unique device address.
The SIGNAL BOOSTERS, SIGNAL CONVERTERS, and SHORT RANGE MODEMS may be used on any RS-232 line.
Note that not all of the following products support all of the RS-232 signals. When making your selection it is important to determine if your requirement is for Synchronous or Asynchronous transmission and how many of the RS-232 control signals are required. To help you make your selection, a small application chart accompanies each product.
Modem Sharing Products
These products allow multiple addressable terminals to share a single modem. They are normally used at a remote location, but can also be used at the host site using a null modem cable.
RS-232 Signal Boosters
These products can be used in the middle of a RS-232 cable run to regenerate the RS-232 signals. They can also be used in pairs similar to short range modems, except that the signal is not converted between them.
RS-232 Signal Converters
These products convert the RS-232 signal to another signal discipline such an RS-422, fiber optic, USB, etc. The converted signal can be used by another device with a compatible interface or the products can be used in pairs, as Short Haul Modems to operate over longer distances. The second unit re-converts the signal back to RS-232.

DeCAT - 4 to 1 Signal Powered Splitter
Four port signal powered sharing unit. No AC power required. LEDs define RTS and receive data on all ports. One DB-25 Male DTE and four DB-25 female DCE connectors. Combined cable distances from all of the ports may not exceed 125 feet. Learn More -
F-232 - Flexible Mini RS-232 to Fiber Optic Converter
This asynchronous RS-232 to Fiber Optic converter is built in a DB-25 gender mender sized enclosure. It can be used as a stand alone unit connected directly to the RS-232 port of a terminal, PC, modem, or mux. Learn More -
TD-2 - 2 to 1 Signal Powered Splitter
This is a convenient low cost sharing unit with two female DB-25 terminal connectors and one male DTE connector. It is designed to connect to the terminal and provide a "down stream" port in a daisy chain fashion. Up to four units can be used in a daisy chain. The total combined cable distance should not exceed 150' at 9600 bps and 100' or less at 19.2 KB. Learn More -
