Industrial serial server, RS485 to RJ45 Ethernet, TCP/IP to serial(with POE function)
Available with a lead time
Expect dispatch between Aug 25 and Aug 28
Connect RS485 devices directly to Ethernet networks with this compact industrial serial server that offers optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. Its DIN-rail mount design and transparent TCP/IP-to-serial operation make it ideal for remote monitoring and seamless integration of legacy equipment into modern IoT systems.
Whether you need a reliable Modbus gateway in a factory environment or a JSON-enabled IoT bridge for intelligent instrument monitoring, this module combines robust hardware isolation with flexible power options to simplify installation and ensure uninterrupted data flow.
Technical Specifications
