Patton Electronics Co. High Speed Serial Extender Model 1053A

Patton’s Model 1053AS is a long-range powered, digital modem that operates synchronously or asynchronously at full duplex over a single twisted pair. The Model 1053A utilizes 2B1Q modulation for superior signal strength even in the noisiest environments. RS-232 serial connections with speeds of 128 kbps can now be extended to distances over 5 miles (8 km) without the use of repeaters! Using ordinary voice-grade wire, the 1053A Serial Extender provides a cost-effective solution for high speed, dedicated end-to-end connections with synchronous line rates up to 128 kbps and asynchronous line rates up to 115.2 kbps that include RTS, CTS and DCD modem signals. The Model 1053A modem’s miniature size allows for a direct connection to your transmission devices serial port. Two 8-position DIP switches are located at the bottom of the unit to allow the configuration of various asynchronous or synchronous line rate settings. Additionally, LEDs are conveniently located on the side of the Model 1053AS to provide at-a-glance status indication of the unit.
