Black Box ICD107A RS-422/RS-485 Industrial DIN Rail Repeater for Signal Amplification and Isolation

Black Box RS-422/RS-485 Industrial DIN Rail Repeater

The Black Box ICD107A RS-422/RS-485 Industrial DIN Rail Repeater is designed to extend and protect your data communication networks in demanding environments. With UL® approval and robust construction, this device offers reliable three-way isolation with 2000-volt input/output protection, ensuring your systems remain safe against transient surges and ground loops. Operating efficiently in temperatures ranging from -40°F to +185°F (-40°C to +85°C), it is suitable for industrial applications where environmental conditions can be extreme. Featuring 600 W of surge suppression, the repeater safeguards connected devices from high-voltage spikes, contributing to system stability and longevity. Its optical isolation further enhances protection by preventing transient surges from impacting your data lines, making it ideal for sensitive communication setups. The device's versatile design allows it to add up to 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) of RS-485 data transmission distance and supports an additional 32 nodes, greatly expanding your network's reach. By configuring one side as RS-422 and the other as RS-485, it functions as a converter, enabling seamless communication between 4-wire RS-422 devices and 2-wire RS-485 systems. The ICD107A operates on 10-48 VDC power and is compatible with Modbus ASCII and RTU protocols, making it suitable for various industrial automation applications. Its automatic send data control feature eliminates the need for driver software, simplifying integration into existing systems. Additionally, the device is designed for easy installation with optional DIN rail mounting, facilitating quick deployment in control panels or industrial enclosures. Built by Black Box Corporation, a trusted name in industrial networking solutions, this signal repeater comes with a five-year limited warranty, ensuring long-term performance and support. Whether expanding your network or safeguarding against surges, the ICD107A provides a reliable, versatile solution to meet your industrial communication needs.
