MINI DRIVER FOR MAC

2. Description

The Mini Driver for Mac

®

gives you a long-distance

link to printers, terminal servers, or any other RS-232
device.  It includes a mini 8-pin DIN plug that plugs
directly into the phone port of any Apple

®

Macintosh

®

.  

The Driver boasts a range of up to nine miles
(14.5 km) and supports speeds of up to 19.2 kbps
over two unconditioned twisted-pair wires.  

Requiring no power supply, the Driver features built-
in transformer isolation that protects against ground-
potential differences and AC/DC over-voltages.  That
makes it safe to link devices between buildings.

Measuring approximately two inches wide, the Mini
Driver for Mac is housed in a sturdy ABS plastic case.
It features either a modular RJ-11 or RJ-45 jack for
easy connection.

The SP model incorporates Silicon Avalanche
Diodes, which provide 600 watts per wire of
protection against harmful transient surges.

Note:  The Mini Driver for Mac must be used in pairs.
