The recommended maximum length for RS232 cables is 50 feet. These RS232 repeater / RS232 extender, also called line drivers, can extend your standard RS232 line up to 4000 feet.

These extenders work in pairs only, one is connected at each end of the RS232 line you wish to extend. They comunicate in full-duplex (they can send and receive at the same time) and converts the connected RS232 signal into RS422 and back again to R232.

These particular RS232 repeaters / RS232 extenders are suitable for most applications, including industrial, commercial and any general office computer device. They are bi-directional, (meaning they communicate in both directions), reliable and cost-effective extenders that easily lets you extend your RS232 line between two RS232 ports.

The extenders are powered from the RS232 port so no external power supply, flow control, drivers or any other external interference is needed, simply plug-and-play.

These extenders are used in pairs only, one unit at each end of your data line, so in order to establish a communiation link you will need to order two units.

Each RS232 Repeater / RS232 extender has a standard DB9 female connector on one side and a DB9 male connector on the other side, which allows for easy connection of and standard serial cable. Terminal headers for connecting individual wires are also included with each extender.

Optional: by using a DB9 to RJ45 adapter you can extend any serial RS232 signal by using a standard CAT5 cable.

Quick Tip!

Extention by a RS232 Repeater / RS232 Extender

The most effective and efficient way of extending a RS232 line is by using a RS232 repeater / RS232 Extender in the form of a RS232 to RS422 converter. At one end the RS232 repeater / RS232 Extender line is converted from RS232 to RS422 signal and back again to a RS232 repeater signal at the other end. This way you will keep all the data signals at the RS232 repeater / RS232 extender end and effectively reduce noise in the RS232 repeater / RS232 extender transmission line.
A RS232 repeater / RS232 Extender can easily be converted into a RS232 repeater / RS232 Extender over CAT5 simply by using a DB9 to RJ45 adapter with each RS232 repeater / RS232 extender. This approach is ideal if you plan to use existing CAT5 cabling which is widely used in many office and industrial builidngs.
Since this RS232 repeater / RS232 extender is port powered no external power supply in needed, the RS232 repeater / RS232 extender simply draws it power from the RS232 interface without interfering with the communication interface.
Another great feature of this RS232 repeater / RS232 extender is that it can easily be adapted to be used as a RS232 repeater / RS232 extender over CAT5 cable by the use of a simple DB9 to RJ45 adapter. This way you can easily use existing CAT5 or CAT6 cable to extend your data communication line.
Keep in mind that when using a RS232 repeater / Rs232 extender like this both of the devices you connect to usually have to provide power to the RS232 repeater / RS232 extender. However, if your device does not provide power, then this particular RS232 repeater or RS232 extender can still be used by connecting an external power supply to the unit.
