The B&B Electronics 232/422/485 to Fiber DIN Rail converter is a rugged, industrial-grade solution designed to bridge legacy serial equipment with modern fiber optic networks. This versatile device lets you mix and match RS-232 devices with RS-422 and RS-485 devices by translating serial signals to a fiber optic link, all mounted conveniently on a standard DIN rail for tight control-room or factory-floor installations. By consolidating conversion and isolation into a single unit, it replaces multiple components, reduces panel real estate, and simplifies maintenance. With Automatic Send Data (ASD) control for RS-485, you can eliminate the need for driver software, speeding up deployment and reducing configuration errors. The result is a robust, long-distance serial connectivity solution that delivers reliable performance in electrically noisy environments, where copper cabling would struggle to maintain signal integrity.

  • Flexible serial-to-fiber networking: Seamlessly connect RS-232 devices to RS-422/485 networks over a fiber link, enabling legacy equipment to communicate with modern control systems without replacing existing serial hardware.
  • DIN rail mountable for industrial environments: A compact, rugged enclosure is designed to snap onto standard DIN rails, making it easy to deploy in control panels, machine cabinets, and distributed automation environments.
  • Automatic Send Data (ASD) control for RS-485: ASD eliminates the need for driver software by automatically managing data enable signaling on RS-485 lines, reducing setup time and the potential for misconfiguration.
  • Long-distance, EMI-resistant fiber link: By encoding serial data onto a fiber optic channel, the device delivers superior immunity to electromagnetic interference and allows communication over extended distances compared with copper.
  • Streamlined deployment—replaces multiple parts: Designed to replace a separate serial-to-fiber converter and an isolator, this unit simplifies your network topology and reduces spare parts inventory while maintaining critical isolation where required.

Looks ok if you don't look too close. Not likely to last long.
Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel, Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel
Got here fast, which was great since our company "upgraded" its video conferencing software and virtual backgrounds no longer work. But I can only describe the item as rickety and sloppily built. See photos: visible gaps in the weave that show the frame through. Chewed up screws in the hinges look like someone took them out and put them back in several times... or salvaged them from another unit. On the whole, it doesn't seem sturdy. I'll be folding it up and re-deploying it several times a week, so I'll be surprised if it will still stand up in a year. Not a good value for the price, really, except that demand on these right now has prices pushed upward. I'd be happy enough if I'd spent $39.99 rather than over a hundred.

Good product, poor directions.
Color: Black, Size: B-88''W-4 Panel
The quality of the product was better than most at this price. The directions could have been much better even though I have an engineering background.

Nice partition for my basement
Color: Beige, Size: B-102''-3 Panel
This 3-panel room divider showed up well-packaged with all the parts and even a little tool for putting it together. The instructions were easy to follow, and while one person can definitely assemble it, having two makes it quicker and less frustrating. It does exactly what I needed—gives quick, easy coverage in an open area. I'm using it in my basement to hide the furnace and water heater, and it works great for that. It looks nice overall, but I picked the beige fabric (which is really more of a tan), and the black frame makes it stand out more than I’d like. A white or lighter frame would’ve blended better. Not sure that I would use it anywhere besides the basement It’s lightweight and pretty sturdy. The wheels make it easy to move, but it does get a bit wobbly, and the panel clips need to be readjusted every time you roll it somewhere new. Still, for the price, it’s a solid buy. I’m happy with it and planning to order another one.

Fantastic
Color: Beige, Size: A-132''W-6 Panel
I am perennially in the process of rearranging, reorganizing, getting ready for yard sales, changing the functions of various rooms, moving everything out of a room to do a deep clean, etc, which means that there is always SOME part of my house, if not the entire thing, that is a disaster zone. Having someone knock on my door triggers a "duck and cover" reflex because it's so embarrassing for anyone to see that I live like this. (I *feel* like I don't, really, because I know that all the various stages are all temporary, but when there's always something temporary going on, it might as well be permanent, you know?) So THANK HEAVENS for a room divider that is not only large enough to divide my uncomfortably long den in half the long way so I can shove all the messy parts up against the back wall -- that is not only simple and attractive and neutral and (this is important) NOT BLACK because I have multiple pets and anything black in this house will be pet-hair-colored within 20 seconds -- that not only has **SIX** panels for lots of options of how I want to divide the space/s -- but is also on WHEELS. Someone out there really does love me, it's true! The panels are stable *enough* - I'm not going to lie and say that nothing is going to knock them over, because I have some balance issues, and I also have cats, and both of those circumstances has resulted in a mess on at least one occasion. But in the cats' defense, they've never dealt with a room partition that didn't hang from the ceiling before; and in my defense, I just grabbed the first thing I could reach on the way down. Not the product's fault in either case. Assembly was a little dicey as I am currently in **bilateral** (oh yes, that's fun) wrist braces, so I had to give up until I had help. But I think if you're able-bodied, you shouldn't have any difficulty. The only down side is, now that I've hidden away all the mess so I can break out the holiday decorations, you know what happens next, right?? That's right... the PERMA-MESS ZONE. Oh no. Oh well.
