Two-Port RS-232 to RS-485 Converter

The Black Box Innovations IC1620A-F converts asynchronous RS-232 signals to RS-485 for extended serial communication. It provides two independent ports in a compact internal form factor measuring .7 x 1.3 x 3.5 in. The bidirectional interface supports reliable data transmission over copper cabling up to 4000 ft. This new unit suits industrial or commercial installations requiring long-distance serial links.

Verify RS-232 Port Availability and Distance Needs

Confirm your host equipment has the necessary RS-232 interfaces to connect both converter ports. Ensure the total cable run between devices does not exceed the 4000 ft maximum supported distance. Check that the .7 x 1.3 x 3.5 in dimensions fit your intended mounting location or enclosure. Buyers needing fibre connectivity or more than two serial channels should consider other solutions.
