UOTEK UT-2216 industrial signal converter

The UOTEK UT-2216 converts single-ended RS-232C signals to balanced differential RS-485 EIA/TIA signals. It features a DB9 female input and provides both DB9 male and RJ-45 outputs for RS-485 connectivity. Each RS-485 line includes 600W lightning and surge protection using TVS suppression technology. Status LEDs indicate power, transmit and receive activity for easy monitoring.

Suits RS-232 to RS-485 conversion in harsh

This converter suits industrial automation, building management and remote sensor networks that need reliable long-distance serial links over twisted-pair or shielded cable. Half-duplex asynchronous operation fits standard Modbus RTU and similar protocols. Not suitable for applications requiring full-duplex communication or fibre-optic transmission media. Buyers needing optical isolation beyond the stated surge rating should look elsewhere.

Half-duplex async with 600W per-line surge

The working mode is asynchronous half-duplex, which determines compatibility with two-wire RS-485 bus topologies. Transmission distance scales with baud rate: 115.2K BPS reaches 300M, 38.4K BPS reaches 600M and 9,600 BPS reaches 1.2KM. Operating temperature spans -25 to 70°C with 5% to 95% relative humidity tolerance. Physical dimensions are 106×87×22mm for panel or DIN-rail mounting.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the UT-2216 converter for panel-mount planning?

The unit measures 106 mm long, 87 mm wide and 22 mm deep, so allow that footprint plus cable clearance when mounting.

How do I wire the RS-485 side to the DB9 male and RJ-45 ports without crossing data lines?

Connect twisted-pair or shielded cable to the RS-485 DB9 male or RJ-45 output, matching A/B polarity; the converter works in asynchronous half-duplex mode, so ensure the host software disables echo.

Will the 600 W per-line surge protection degrade and need replacement after a lightning event?

The TVS suppressors clamp transients instantly and return to high impedance; they are not sacrificial, so no routine replacement is required unless a strike exceeds the 600 W rating.
