Description: Serial to Parallel Converter (Converts Both Ways) with 512K Buffer

[Features][Specifications & Dimensions][Accessory Items like required cables]Both the ADP3000 and ADP3000-256 are bi-directional, allowing you to convert from parallel to serial or serial to parallel for data transmission. The ADP3000-256 provides the added benefit of 256K of memory, allowing it to serve as a printer buffer. Both units offer a DIP switch for data flow direction setting, and support hardware handshake, XON-XOFF software handshake, and have speeds of up to 115200 bps for serial transfer rates, and up to 10 Kbytes per second for parallel transfer rates. The units are small enough to make them portable for convenient operations just about anywhere.

  • DIP Switch for Direction Setting
  • Easy Installation
  • Compact Size
