Actisense PC-OPTO-3 said to be 'Unique by Design'
Actisense, the brand from Active Research, has released a new version of its opto-isolator cable.
The new PC-OPTO-3 provides a safe and low cost way of connecting an NMEA 0183 system to a laptop or any other device with a standard RS232 nine pin port.
With a fully shielded case and cable, the OPTO-3 is particularly suitable for ‘noisy' or commercial environments. It provides a complete solution for system builders who need all components to be shielded.
The OPTO-3 features an isolated input, is compatible with NMEA HS (38400) baud rates, has spike protection in the NMEA output and is self powered from the PC, making the OPTO-3 easy and quick to install. These benefits make the Actisense OPTO-3 ‘stand out from the crowd' compared to the ordinary opto cables available on the market.
Phil Whitehurst, Managing Director, Active Research said, "Thousands of happy customers have been using our opto cables for many years. With the OPTO-3 we are introducing the shielded benefits of the OPTO-2 at the price point of the ever popular OPTO-1. Our Actisense range of marine electronics continues to provide customers with a better quality product, at excellent value for money."
