## Description

USB TO 8CH RS485 Industrial Grade Isolated Converter, USB To RS485 Adapter, Multiple Protection Circuits, Wall-mount and Rail-Mount Support, Multi-OS Compatible, Stackable Installation Support

### Features

- Supports USB to 8CH RS485, convenient for expanding multiple RS485 industrial serial devices
- Supports direct power supply via Type-C port, with reserved 5V~36V DC wide voltage screw terminal for auxiliary power input
- Onboard unibody power supply isolation, provides stable isolated voltage
- Onboard unibody digital isolation, allows signal isolation, high reliability, strong anti-interference, low power consumption
- Onboard TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppress surge voltage and transient spike voltage in the circuit, lightningproof & anti-electrostatic
- Onboard self-recovery fuse and protection diodes, ensures the current/voltage stable outputs, provides over-current/over-voltage proof, improves shock proof performance
- Built-in 120R terminal resistor on the RS485 ports, configurable via jumper for flexible switching
- LEDs for indicating the power, device configuration status and transceiver status
- Rail-mount case design, support stackable combination, easy to install and safer to use
