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.

    RS-422 and RS-485 Optical Isolator/Repeater


    Quick Facts

  • Connect systems while protecting them from damaging ground loops.
  • Isolates one RS-485 device from the rest of an RS-485 system or one local group of RS-485 equipment from another.

  • Further Details

  • Connects point-to-point, RS-422 4-wire equipment to an RS-485 2-wire multidrop system.
  • Can be used as a repeater to expand an RS-485 system beyond 32 nodes.
  • Operates 2-wire half-duplex or 4-wire half- or full-duplex.
  • Features 12 user-selectable data rates up to 460.8 kbps.

  • This compact device links RS-422 4-wire and RS-485 2-wire systems while using optical isolation to protect equipment and lines from damaging ground loops.

    The BLACK BOX® RS-422 and RS-485 Optical Isolator/Repeater enables you to connect equipment meant for a point-to-point RS-422 4-wire interface to an RS-485 2-wire multidrop system.

    It can be used to optically isolate one piece of RS-485 equipment from the rest of an RS-485 system or one local group of RS-485 equipment from another, or it can be used as a repeater to expand an existing RS-485 system beyond the standard’s 32-node limitation.

    All data lines as well as power and ground are isolated from one side of the unit to the other. The RS-422 and RS-485 Optical Isolator/Repeater uses terminal blocks on each side of the device. It supports Transmit Data A and B, Receive Data A and B, Protective Ground, and Signal Ground.

    The RS-422 and RS-485 Optical Isolator/ Repeater operates in either 2-wire half-duplex systems or in 4-wire half-duplex or full-duplex systems. By connecting one side of the unit as a 2-wire device and one side as a 4-wire device, equipment meant for a point-to-point RS-422 interface can be connected directly to an RS-485 2-wire multidrop system.

    You get speed with the RS-422 and RS-485 Optical Isolator/Repeater, too. It features 12 user-selectable data rates, from 300 bps up to 460.8 kbps.
