Brainboxes, a leader in serial connectivity, has introduced RS422/485 versions of their 4 and 8 port Ethernet to serial products. As with all our Ethernet to Serial port devices these new products are designed to provide easy, fast and reliable connections between networked computers and devices with serial ports- be it across the desk or across the world.

Brainboxes’ Ethernet to Serial range is the smart and cost-effective solution to securely and remotely manage a wide range of serial accessories for various applications in an organisation. It is based on Brainboxes’ proven and familiar technology and of course comes with Brainboxes’ renowned lifetime support and lifetime guarantee.

Brainboxes has engineered its Ethernet to Serial devices to operate completely autonomously. The new 4 and 8 port RS422/485 devices, as with the rest of the range, will enable connection across a network with no loss of reliability or signal integrity. Brainboxes’ Ethernet to Serial connectivity options are ideal for installations such as refineries, large manufacturing plants and warehouses.

Brainboxes’ Ethernet to Serial products allow large quantities of information to be transferred through each serial port coupled with a fast Ethernet connection. The increased control and automation, through your existing network infrastructure, can help you reduce your costs and improve efficiency whilst our IP30 rated metal cases are strong enough for industrial applications, yet smart enough for any office environment. All of which makes them perfect for a wide and varied range of applications including: ATM machines, barcode scanners, refrigeration and heating controls, medical devices, security controls, weather stations and electronic key systems.
