2.1 FEATURES
• Transformer coupled for DC isolation between modems
• Immune to ground loops caused by ground potential differences
• Supports asynchronous RS-232 communication over 2 twisted pair
• Supports data rates to 115.2 Kbps, distances to 8.5 miles
• Loops back all handshaking signals on the RS-232 interface
• Externally accessible DCE/DTE switch makes configuration easy
• Very thin case (.75") for closely spaced computer ports
• No AC power or batteries required—draws all necessary operating
power from the RS-232 interface
• Provides surge protection of 600 Watts per wire
2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 1010A miniature, high speed, transformer
isolated short range modem lets two asynchronous RS-232 devices
communicate between buildings, over two twisted pair. Supporting
asynchronous data rates to 115.2 Kbps, the Model 1010A derives the
necessary power for operation from the data and control voltages on
the RS-232 interface. DC transformer isolation on the line side gives
the Model 1010A immunity to ground loops that would otherwise
hamper between-building communications.
An external DCE/DTE switch lets you connect to the serial port of
either a computer/terminal (DTE) or a modem (DCE) without using a
crossover cable. The Model 1010A is available with three 4 wire
interface options: RJ-11, RJ-45 or terminal blocks with strain relief.
The Model 1010A also incorporates high speed avalanche diodes
that intercept data line transient surges and shunt them safely to
chassis ground. With surge handling capacity of 600W per wire at
1mS, the 1010A can protect itself and connected equipment from
nearby lightning strikes and other surges of electromagnetic radiation.
