OVERVIEW
ORDERING INFORMATION
MODEL NO.
DESCRIPTION
The 232LB9R is a 9-pin RS-232 repeater that re-transmits all 8
signals and carries the ground line through. Many computers, laptops
and some desktops ship with low-power versions of RS-232 ports
that are unable to drive port-powered devices or full-length RS-232
cabling. The 232LB9R can amplify these weak signals up to the RS-
232 Standard for uses such as running port powered devices (see
Figure 1). It is also ideal for extending full-powered RS-232 cable
runs beyond the typical 50 to 100 feet distance (see Figure 2).
An external power supply is required (sold separately).
