5Completely reliable
By J. Stevens
I work on a team of manufacturing engineers. We often have a need to convert communications from RS422 to RS232 and back. This unit is our defacto choice for this conversion. It's simple to configure and has great isolation. I highly recommend this device.

5Ideal features for RS232 to RS485 conversion
By D. B. Smith
The unit was easy to set up and worked exactly as I expected. This unit solves the issue of ports that don't always generate a proper RTS signal to control RS485 direction (like USB to RS232 converters or software that does not support direction control). The included signal isolation makes this unit especially recommended for industrial use or distance transmission to protect your computer and target.
