Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

    Industrial Modem RF115


    Quick Facts

  • Makes wireless line-of-sight connections up to 20 miles (32.1 km) and up to 60 miles (96.5 km) with two repeaters.
  • Transmits uncompressed data at speeds up to 115 kbps, half-duplex.
  • Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology sends data error free via radio waves.

  • Heavy-gauge steel and extended-temperature components ensure industrial operation.

    Our compact wireless Industrial Modem RF115 opens up a whole new world of options for establishing vital async data links in really tough environments.

    Industrial Modem RF115 uses Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum wireless technology to broadcast async data quickly and securely where dialup lines and copper wires don’t reach or are too costly to install. Electromagnetic and radio interference (EMI and RFI), industrial motors, even temperature extremes are no hazards to communication when you use the Industrial Modem RF115.

    Set up two modems with either standard or optional antennas in a point-to-point configuration to connect an alarm unit, distant data-collection terminal, or remote-control device. Or contact multiple remote devices in a polled multipoint setting.

    In addition to providing error-free throughput and data security, the Industrial Modem RF115 offers excellent throughput rates. Each modem includes a fixed-whip antenna but can be outfitted with any of the optional RF Antennas, which can be located up to 100 feet (30.4 m) from your base unit. For communication up to 20 miles (32.1 km), set up the antennas in a direct line-of-sight configuration. And with two repeaters, you can transmit up to 60 miles (96.5 km) in line-of-sight connections! Be sure to use lightning arrestors when using outdoor antennas.

    This modem can also help you to make within-the-building wireless connections (with obstructions) up to 1000 feet (304.8 m).
