MINI DRIVER–15
2. Description
The Mini Driver–15 lets you connect RS-232 devices
equipped with DB15 connectors, including Unisys
®
(Sperry) 5000 and the NCR
®
“tower” series.
It features built-in transformers that eliminate noise
and ground loops, so you can link devices between
buildings.
At a range of 2.5 miles (4 km) on 19-AWG wire, the
Driver operates full-duplex at speeds up to 19.2 kbps
over two twisted-pair wires. Range can be extended
up to nine miles (14.5 km) at 1200 bps.
An external DCE/DTE switch lets you connect any
device without opening the Driver. Three enclosure
options allow terminations via RJ-11, RJ-45, or
terminal block. A strain-relief feature prevents thin
twisted-pair wires from breaking or pulling loose.
The MSP model features custom-made transformers
and transorbs for DC isolation and high-level surge
protection. It features the latest in bidirectional
clamping transient suppressors to protect itself and
connected equipment from harmful transient
discharges.
Note: The Line Driver 15 must be used in pairs.
