LDM35 Series - Dataforth 1 Port Signal Powered RS-232 Line Driver Module

  • LDM35-P
  • LDM35-S
The LDM35 series enables long-distance RS-232 communication without an external power supply, drawing power directly from RS-232 signals. Housed in a compact, rugged enclosure, these full-duplex drivers support twisted-pair wiring, offer built-in surge protection, and feature DCE/DTE switching, status LEDs, and versatile connection options including DB25 and RJ-11.

The LDM35 signal powered RS-232 line driver is designed to allow video display terminals (VDTs) and other RS-232 devices to be connected over distances sufficient to cover any industrial or institutional complex of buildings. These limited distance modems feature a rugged enclosure small enough to mount on the back panel of VDT units, saving valuable desk and floor space.

The LDM35 RS-232 line driver does not require a power supply for operation. The use of low power circuits and a sensitive optical receiver allows the devices to derive all necessary power from the RS-232 data and control signal. They are designed for full-duplex, asynchronous operation over two, DC-continuity, non-loaded, twisted-wire pairs. Two-wire simplex operation may be accomplished over two wires. The modem circuits and, consequently, the host device are protected from electrical transients due to lightning strikes or operation of heavy industrial equipment.
