The
RPT-485_422-4 is a rugged, industrial-grade, optically-isolated RS-485/RS-422 repeater/converter, which can be used to extend the RS-485 or RS-422 distance to up to 4000 ft (1.2km), it can also can be used to convert a two-wire RS-485 signal into a four-wire RS-422 signal, and vice versa.
This TUV strictly-certified (Cert No. SG-CE-100004; SG-FCC-100001) industrial opto-isolated RS485 RS422 converter / repeater operates within a temperature range of -40F to 185F (-40C to 85C), features 600W surge protection, 15kV static protection and opto-isolation circuitry, which effectively protects your RS-485/RS-422 devices from ground loop, noise problems, transient surges, remote lightning and spikes. The unit supports data rates up to 115.2K Baud, features baud rate auto-sensing and self-adjusting, and comes with the auto-turnaround feature for RS485 communications. Therefore, it requires no DIP switch setting, software drivers or flow control, making the unit a highly reliable and truly plug-and-play device.
A separate external power supply is included in the package, and, thanks to the professional and unique casing design, the product can be mounted directly on a wall, panel or DIN Rail, without a need of using any unsecured DIN-Rail or wall-mount adapters. This device is backed by our 30-day risk-free money-back guarantee and 5-year replacement warranty.

Knowledge Base: Industrial vs. Commercial-Grade
Just as there are many differences between industrial- and commercial-grade computers, the industrial- and commercial-grade converters differ in many ways, such as the level of circuit protection, temperature range and noise tolerance. Most importantly, industrial-grade converters are much more durable and the failure rates are much lower than commercial-grade converters. Industrial-grade converters are designed to interface with mission-critical equipment, such as computers, PLC, SCADA and HMI - whether in the field, server room, factory, control room, or fire command center.
