NPort 5650-8-DTL, 8-port RS-232/422/485 rackmount server

8-port RS-232/422/485 device server, RJ45 connectors

NPort 5600-8-DT device servers can conveniently and transparently connect 8 serial devices to an Ethernet network, allowing you to network your existing serial devices with only basic configuration. You can both centralize management of your serial devices and distribute management hosts over the network. Since the NPort 5600-8-DT device servers have a smaller form factor compared to our 19-inch models, they are a great choice for applications that need additional serial ports, but for which mounting rails are not available.

Convenient Design for RS-485 Applications The NPort 5650-8-DT device servers support selectable 1 KÃŽ© and 150 KÃŽ© pull high/low resistors and a 120 ÃŽ© terminator. In some critical environments, termination resistors may be needed to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is also important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. Since no set of resistor values is universally compatible with all environments, NPort 5600-8-DT device servers use DIP switches to allow users to adjust termination and pull high/low resistor values manually for each serial port.

Convenient Power Inputs The NPort 5650-8-DT device servers support both power terminal blocks and power jacks for ease of use and greater flexibility. Users can connect the terminal block directly to a DC power source, or use the power jack to connect to an AC circuit through an adaptor.
