Overview  

The Model 2085 high speed RS-232 to RS-485 interface converter supports async RS-232 data rates to 115.2 kbps over one or two unconditioned twisted pair. Passing one control signal in each direction, the Model 2085 can handle up to 50 terminal drops in a multipoint polling environment. The Model 2085 has five configuration parameters, allowing the unit to be ?fine tuned? to a variety of point-to-point or multipoint applications. In addition, Silicon Avalanche Diodes provide 600 watts per wire of protection against harmful data line transient surges.
