Your cart is empty.The RS232EXTC1 Serial over Cat 5 Extender allows you to increase the distance of your RS232 Serial connection by up to 1000 meters (3300 feet), giving you the ability to connect serial peripheral devices up to a kilometer away from your system - an incredible 65x greater than normal RS232 serial cable length restrictions would permit. The Extender is a cost-effective serial extension solution and completely hardware-based, eliminating the need to install additional software, allowing for a completely plug and play installation. The hardware can be setup in minutes, using existing or new Cat 5 or better Ethernet cabling. Perfect for use in industrial monitoring and control, POS, security, medical, and traffic flow applications, the RS232 Serial over Cat 5 extender maintains the RS232 standard with support for data transfer rates of up to 230 Kbps.

Product description claims "Compatible with all RS232 communications" - FALSE. If all you need is RXD, TXD, RTS, CTS, then it should work. But if you need DSR/DTR, then it will NOT work. And the RTS/CTS lines cannot be substituted for DSR/DTR for some reason; I tried, it didn't work. Would have been cool to know about this before buying >$600 worth of the things.

My company bought one of these for an installation job. It was dead on arrival. I needed a replacement FAST so I ordered another on Amazon without worrying about returning the first one. The second one was also DOA. I went through troubleshooting steps with Startech customer support, thinking maybe it was something I was doing wrong. By the end, they agreed both sets were duds. Now I'm back to square one.

Nice equipment, i test it 60 meters without external power, for longer cable you should plug the power supply.

Extended a serial connection about 200 feet with these for an environmental control computer. They wanted 25000 to relocate the control panel which was absurd.

I used the extenders to run 9600 baud serial communications between computer and Burr Brown 2500 unit 160 feet apart with no problems. The supplied power supply was required on both units to get them to communicate at the distance I was using them at.
