Know before you buy
The FC-70R acts as a bridge between legacy hardware and modern computers. It translates RS-232 serial signals into a USB format, allowing you to connect older industrial or professional equipment to a standard USB port.
As a standard USB-to-serial converter, it typically functions as a plug-and-play device. However, depending on your operating system, you may need to ensure the appropriate serial drivers are installed to facilitate communication with your specific legacy hardware.
Its compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable for on-the-go troubleshooting. However, it is built with the reliability required for secured product integration, making it equally effective for permanent, long-term installations.
Kramer Electronics backs this translator with a 7-year limited warranty. This long-term coverage reflects the build quality and reliability of the device for professional environments.
No, the FC-70R is designed as a single-channel translator. You would need one unit for each individual RS-232 device you intend to connect to your computer.
