CAT5 DB9 LINE DRIVER

1.  What is the CAT5 DB9 Line Driver? 

The CAT5 DB9 Line Driver from Black Box extends control and remote access of any 
RS 232 device up to 1000m / 3300ft away. Use it for example to give remote access 
from a touch screen, or Creston presentation unit or to transfer data between computers 
This Guide illustrates the CAT5 DB9 Line Driver and explains how to install it. 

The CAT5 DB9 Line Driver system consists of: 

1 Local unit, 1 Remote unit and 2 Power adapters.

4.  Recommendation 

In the CAT5 DB9 Line Driver system the CAT5 cables carry electrical power. 
Therefore do 

NOT

 connect them to any other device. To avoid this we recommend 

that you attach the stickers provided to the ends of each CAT5 cable.
