Black Box IC1474A-F Async RS232 to RS422/485 Converter

Description

The Black Box IC1474A-F is an asynchronous RS232 to RS422/RS485 interface converter that allows RS232 devices to communicate over longer distances using differential signaling. The converter supports speeds up to 115.2 kbps and distances up to 4000 feet over CATx cables with 4-wire full-duplex operation for RS422 and 2-wire half-duplex for RS485. The converter is powered by RS232 control leads, requiring no external power supply for many applications. The compact DB9 female-to-female design allows direct connection to serial devices. The IC1474A-F is ideal for industrial control systems, building automation, security systems, and any application requiring RS232 to RS422/485 conversion for extended-distance serial communication.
