Repeater

Serial repeaters extend the range and reliability of serial communication. They act as interface amplifiers by boosting and reconditioning serial signals to maintain signal quality and minimize signal loss. They enable the extension of transmission distances for serial devices such as machine controls, sensors, and other industrial equipment via cable connections. Typically, serial repeaters support various interface standards like RS232, RS485, or RS422 and offer additional features such as signal amplification, bridging cable distances, and protection against electromagnetic interference. They are easy to install and configure, facilitating their integration into existing serial network infrastructures.
