Actisense OPTO-4 – Cable

Actisense OPTO-4, NMEA-0183 to RS232 Opto-Isolator Cable

The Actisense OPTO-4 is an isolated cable that connects NMEA-0183 devices to an RS232 port (e.g., a PC). Thanks to opto-isolation and voltage protection, it prevents malfunctions or damage to your equipment.

Who is this system made for?

• For technicians who want to connect NMEA-0183 sensors or instruments to a PC or other device.
• For situations where you want protection against ground loops or voltage differences between systems.
• For installations where reliability and signal quality are essential.

Key Features

• 2000 V opto-isolation between NMEA input and RS232 side
• Full duplex communication (two-way) — upload & download
• Supports baud rates up to 115200 baud
• Overvoltage and reverse protection on the input/output lines
• Isolated passive design — power is supplied via the RS232 interface (using RTS/DTR if available)
• Fully shielded cable design for noise reduction

What's in it for you?

• Safety: prevents damage to PC or equipment due to voltage fluctuations.
• Stability: reliable data connection without interference or noise.
• Simplicity: Plug and play, no additional power required in most cases.
• Flexibility: works with many NMEA-0183 equipment and RS232 systems.
