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.

Double the range of RS-232 data communications in heavy industrial areas.

ICD201A

Extended Double Diamond™ Warranty Available
(Three years for two)

  • Rugged, IP30-rated metal case for panel mounting.


    • Description

    Industrial Opto-Isolated RS-232 Repeater


    Quick Facts

  • A heavy-duty, industrial-strength repeater.
  • Doubles the allowable range of RS-232 transmissions up to 100 feet (30.4 m).
  • Rugged, IP30-rated metal case for panel mounting.

    • Further Details

  • Tolerates temperatures ranging from -30 to +185º F (-40 to +85º C).
  • 2G shock and 3G vibration protection.
  • Boasts 2-kV triple isolation for safeguarding data and equipment.
  • Data rates up to 115.2 kbps.
  • Modbus® and ASCII/RTU compatible.
  • DIN rail mountable with optional adapter.

    This heavy-duty Industrial Opto-Isolated RS-232 Repeater doubles the maximum allowable distance permitted under the RS-232 specification for longer serial transmissions.

    Encased in an IP30-rated enclosure, the repeater's been put through some of the most exacting tests in the industry. The high-grade repeater meets the requirements of two standards that make it suitable for electrical substation installations—IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613—specifications that are more stringent than NEMA TS1/TS2 requirements for transportation applications.

    Three levels of isolation.
    The Industrial Opto-Isolated RS-232 Repeater features 2-kV triple isolation, protecting equipment as well as data from rogue currents and ground loops. It provides powerful isolation on both DTE and DCE ports, and with additional isolation on the repeater’s power supply circuits, you’re given a third degree of protection.

    This level of protection helps prevent stray currents from disrupting important RS-232 communications, such as those in factory, engineering, military, defense industry, or utility applications.

    By isolating voltage anomalies, you stand a much better chance of preventing a surge from shutting down an assembly line—or your entire plant.

    Simple to set up and troubleshoot.
    Its rugged, panelmount case is designed for easy integration with control panel or other industrial equipment.

    Simply connect data cables to its DB9 female connector (DCE) and its DB9 male connector (DTE). For power, it has a removable, two-position terminal block that accepts 10-48 VDC power from any external power source (not included).

    The repeater also supports loopback tests for troubleshooting. Through DCE and DTE port cable connections, you can use Hyperterminal® or a similar program to perform these tests.

    NOTE: Power supply not included.
