Unlock the full potential of legacy and modern serial devices with the Tripp Lite by Eaton Serial over Cat5/Cat6 RS232 Extender. This robust transmitter-and-receiver pair lets you place your RS232 devices wherever you need them—well beyond the reach of a traditional serial cable—by running a simple Cat5e or Cat6 link. Perfect for factories, laboratories, retail environments, POS stations, or any setup requiring reliable, long-distance RS232 communication, this extender delivers stable data transfer, easy installation, and flexible configuration. With its TAA-compliant design, it’s suitable for government procurement and enterprise deployments alike, helping you future-proof your serial infrastructure without sacrificing performance or reliability.

  • Extend RS232 over Cat5/Cat6 networks to place serial devices exactly where they offer the most benefit, without relocating equipment or compromising signal integrity. The transmitter and receiver maintain the integrity of your RS232 signals across the length of the cable, preserving data accuracy for critical control, monitoring, and data collection tasks.
  • Transmitter and receiver pair provide end-to-end serial communication with clear, bidirectional data flow. This dedicated pair ensures consistent timing and low latency, supporting real-time monitoring, control commands, and responsive remote management of connected devices.
  • Broad compatibility with RS232 devices thanks to support for common serial configurations, baud rates, data formats, parity, and handshake options. Whether you’re interfacing with PLCs, instrument controllers, barcode scanners, POS peripherals, or other serial-enabled hardware, the extender helps you maintain dependable operation.
  • Ideal for both business and home environments—from industrial automation floors and data centers to laboratories, kiosks, and remote monitoring stations. It’s designed to handle demanding conditions while remaining simple to deploy, making it a smart upgrade for anyone needing longer reach for RS232 devices.
  • Rugged, reliable, and compliant with a build intended for steady, long-term use. The device is designed for easy installation with minimal downtime, and its TAA compliance makes procurement straightforward for government and enterprise projects alike.

Technical Details of Tripp Lite by Eaton Serial over Cat5/Cat6 RS232 Extender

  • Extends RS-232 asynchronous serial signals over Cat5e or Cat6 cabling to connect remote devices without moving them.
  • Maximum transmission distance between transmitter and receiver: up to 3280 ft (999.74 m).
  • Includes a dedicated transmitter unit and a compatible receiver unit for end-to-end serial extension.
  • Supports standard RS-232 electrical characteristics, allowing seamless integration with a wide range of serial equipment and host controllers.
  • TAA-compliant design suitable for procurement in government and large-scale enterprise deployments.
  • Plug-and-play setup with straightforward configuration to minimize installation time and disruption.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton Serial over Cat5/Cat6 RS232 Extender

  • Plan placement: Decide where the transmitter will connect to the RS232 device and where the receiver will connect to the host controller or PC. Ensure both units are within the tolerance of standard Cat5e/Cat6 cables and have clear access to power (if required).
  • Connect RS232 devices: Attach the RS232 cable from the serial device to the transmitter’s RS232 port, and connect the RS232 port on the receiver to the host PC, controller, printer, or other serial equipment.
  • Lay the Cat5e/Cat6 link: Run a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable between the transmitter and receiver. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable and avoid cable damage, kinks, or excessive bending to preserve signal quality.
  • Power and positioning: If power adapters are required for the units, connect them to a reliable power source. Position the units away from sources of interference and secure cabling to reduce strain on connectors.
  • Configure serial settings: Align baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, and handshake (if used) on both ends to match the connected RS232 devices. For best results, set both ends to the same serial parameters and test with a loopback or a known-good device.
  • Test and validate: Test data transmission by sending commands or data from the host to the remote device and vice versa. Verify that control sequences, prompts, and responses appear correctly, and adjust timing if necessary for your equipment.

Frequently asked questions

  • What does this RS232 extender do? It extends RS232 serial communication over Cat5e or Cat6 cables, enabling remote access and control of RS232-enabled devices without moving them.
  • How far can I run the connection? The transmitter and receiver can link over distances up to 3280 feet (approximately 999.74 meters) depending on cable quality and environmental conditions.
  • What cables are supported? Standard Cat5e or Cat6 copper cables are recommended for best performance and reliability.
  • Do I need software to use it? No software is required for basic operation; the extender is designed for plug-and-play use with standard RS232 devices, though you may need to configure serial parameters on your equipment to match.
  • Is it compliant with government procurement? Yes, the product is TAA-compliant, making it suitable for procurement in government and enterprise programs that require this compliance.

Kids?
Size: Medium, Color: (025) Castlerock / Castlerock / Anthracite
I didn’t realize these were kids socks, until after I got them, but the fit is amazing and they stay put, without coming off my heels. I wear an 8.5-9 in women’s shoes.

Favorite Socks Ever
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I absolutely love these socks, they compress in the middle which is my favorite thing about them! Keeps them from slipping off my feet and also adds support, love love love how they feel and how long they last! This is my second pack that I’ve purchased, I had the multi colored ones before and they’ve lasted me two years before finally starting to wear out and fade and get holes. Definitely going to be routinely buying these every year. Good to wear with my work out shoes...winter boots, Nike sandals, and my everyday adidas sneakers. These are so worth it!

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!
