The RS-232 Line Booster doubles the length of an RS-232 cable by actively receiving and re-transmitting twelve of the most common signal lines of the RS232-C interface. The RS232-C specifications state the maximum cable length is limited to 50 feet. In actual operation (depending on environmental conditions), you may be able to operate with as much as 100-150 feet of cable. The Line Booster doubles the maximum cable length if the environmental conditions are similar over the entire cable and the Booster is in the center of the cable length.
Under these same conditions, the signal to noise ratio is halved when using the Line Booster. The unit is data and data format transparent
It is powered by a detachable power supply. The lines supported and the direction of the signal flow are summarized on the following page
