DA232
DA232 - Distribution Amplifier
The DA232 is an RS-232 distribution amplifier, for splitting a serial time-signal stream (for example NMEA 0183 from a GPS receiver) to multiple RS-232 clients. For maritime, military or legacy industrial installations where one serial time source must feed multiple devices. One RS-232 input, multiple isolated RS-232 outputs, AC power, 1U rack mount.

Frequently asked questions
What is a typical application for the DA232?
A GMR5000 with NMEA 0183 NTP output to multiple maritime or military systems that each expect their own RS-232 stream. Or NENA format (112 dispatch centre) to multiple call-handling stations.
Which RS-232 settings are passed through?
The DA232 splits the incoming stream byte-transparently, so the baud rate, parity and data bits of the source are preserved on all outputs. No per-output reconfiguration.
How many outputs?
Several DB-9 or terminal-block outputs, exact count in the datasheet. For very many outputs, two DA232 units can be cascaded.
What is the lead time for this product?
Standard lead time is 8-10 weeks from Masterclock USA. Daylight bv stocks the most common references in Ghent. Contact us for current availability and any rush options.
