USB 2.0 to RS485 Converter with CP2102 chip Industrial grade protection: transient suppression, ESD protection, surge protection, and short circuit protection for both signal lines and power. Short circuit conditions are protected to prevent damage. Wide system compatibility with hot plug support: works with Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/2003/2008, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and Linux. USB interface supports hot plugging for easy installation. RS485 interface and robust build: USB 2.0 to RS485 converter for docking with RS485 devices and networks. Main chip CP2102 (Silicon Labs) provides a stable, industrialgrade USBtoUART bridge. Lead pins provide A+, B, GND, GND, and 5V0. protection and reliability: industrial product design with 15 kV ESD protection and overvoltage protection to safeguard connected devices. Transmission distance and speed: transmission distance up to 1000 meters (typical); tested up to 1200 meters at 9600 bps. Supports baud rates up to 921600 bps, which is significantly higher than 115200 bps, enabling faster pairwise transmission. Performance and reliability: CP2102 based USB interface ensures stable data transfer with strong antiinterference characteristics suitable for harsh environments. Size and form factor: compact USB 2.0 to RS485 converter that is easy to integrate into existing setups without bulky components. Applications and use scenarios: Industrial automation and control systems: connect a PC to RS485 PLCs, sensors, or intelligent controllers for configuration, monitoring, or data acquisition. Building automation and environmental monitoring: link RS485 sensors (temperature, humidity, air quality) to a central PC or controller for centralized logging and control. Remote data logging and equipment testing: extend a computer's RS485 capability to collect data from distant meters, actuators, or test fixtures over long cables.
