Why Engineers Choose The Trycom TRP-C08 USB to RS-232C Isolated Converter
Industrial Reliability
Universal Serial Support
Overview
The Trycom TRP-C08 delivers robust industrial-grade connectivity between a computer’s USB port and RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial devices. It features 3000V DC isolation and internal surge protection on all data lines, shielding both the host system and converter from high-voltage spikes and ground potential differences. Designed for flexible deployment, the TRP-C08 supports DIN rail and panel mounting, making it suitable for field automation, data acquisition, and legacy serial device integration in harsh or electrically noisy environments.
