DCP DIN Rail Mount Converter and Line Driver Product Family

Data communication systems in industrial and institutional environments can present special problems.
  • Lines must be run over long distances, often ranging from thousands of feet to several miles, indoors and outdoors and from building to building
  • Systems must be able to function in the presence of electrical transients and noise, ground loops, power surges, and nearby lightning strikes
Our heavy duty converters/line drivers “harden” and protect these systems and can extend data communication networks for many miles without expensive cabling.
  • DCP485 – Fully isolated RS-232/RS-485 converter/line driver
  • DCP35 – Signal powered RS-232 line driver
