It is used in AV control systems where a control processor, projector or display sits far beyond the reach of a standard serial cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ru-sc2.jpg\" alt=\"RDL RU-SC2 front panel\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RS-232 device connects on the front panel, while the RS-422 input, output and power connections are made on rear-panel full-size barrier block terminals. A pair of RU-SC2 units, one at each end of a 2-pair balanced twisted pair line, carries data between two RS-232 ports over much greater distances than conventional serial cables allow. The RACK-UP format fits rack-mount or free-standing installations.
