The CA-132I is a rugged 2-port RS-422/485 PC/104 serial module featuring 2 kV optical isolation, designed for use in industrial systems requiring strong electrical isolation and EMI resistance. Suitable for operating environments up to 55°C, it is ideal for applications in automation, energy, and intelligent transportation systems.

With two 16C550C-compatible UARTs, the module supports baud rates up to 921.6 kbps, and all ports are configurable via DIP switches. It supports RS-422 and both 2-wire and 4-wire RS-485. Built-in Tx/Rx LEDs provide instant feedback, and broad driver support for Windows, Linux, and UNIX ensures wide platform compatibility.
