The Black Box ICD107A is an asynchronous serial repeater designed to extend the effective range of RS422 and RS485 communication links. This device is critical for deployments where control or data acquisition devices are located beyond the standard cable length limitations of serial protocols, such as in industrial automation, building management systems, or distributed security sensor networks. It regenerates the signal, allowing for longer cable runs and more flexible system architecture without requiring complex network infrastructure. The ICD107A uses two 5-position terminal blocks for straightforward wiring.
This repeater is compatible with any system utilizing standard RS422 or RS485 serial communication protocols. It functions as a transparent device, meaning it does not require specific software configuration or drivers and will work with any host system or peripheral device that adheres to these serial standards. This includes a wide range of industrial controllers, data loggers, and serial-based surveillance equipment.
Installation involves connecting the input RS422/485 signal to one set of terminal blocks and the extended output to the other. Ensure proper termination is applied at the end of the extended cable run to prevent signal reflections. The repeater itself does not require external power, drawing minimal current from the RS485 bus, which simplifies deployment in existing infrastructure.
