Description

Black Box TL115A RS232 DB9 Serial Port Splitter

Overview

The Black Box TL115A is a passive RS-232 DB9 serial port splitter designed to connect a single serial port to two separate devices simultaneously. This passive configuration means it requires no external power, simplifying installation and deployment. It is ideal for scenarios where you need to duplicate data streams from a single serial source to multiple destinations, such as logging data to two different systems or communicating with two devices from one host computer. The TL115A is particularly useful in industrial automation, point-of-sale systems, and legacy device integration where serial communication remains prevalent and reliability is paramount.

Compatibility

This splitter is compatible with any standard RS-232 DB9 serial interface. It functions by passively duplicating the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) signals from the host serial port to two separate DB9 connectors. It does not support handshake signals (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR) and is intended for applications where only data transmission duplication is required. It is suitable for use with devices such as serial printers, modems, industrial controllers, and data loggers that utilize DB9 serial connections.

Installation Notes

As a passive device, the TL115A requires no power supply. Simply connect the male DB9 connector to the host serial port and the two female DB9 connectors to your target devices. Ensure that the connected devices are configured to receive data independently. This splitter is not suitable for applications requiring active signal management or handshake signal duplication.
