💡 1-to-8 Star Topology & 2500V Optical Isolation

The 8CH-HUB-RS485 is a high capacity active signal repeater and splitter that converts a standard daisy-chain network into a very resilient 1-to-8 star topology. The optical isolation on all downlink ports is 2500V, so a short circuit or fault on one slave branch will never take down the whole SCADA bus.

Product Overview

The Valtoris 8CH-HUB-RS485 is a rugged, industrial-grade 8-Port Isolated RS485 Hub. Engineered to overcome standard RS485 distance limitations and node capacity constraints, it actively repeats and expands your serial network up to an additional 1200 meters per branch. It provides unmatched reliability, surge protection and ground loop elimination for mission critical automation networks by physically isolating each of the 8 downlink channels.

Quick Specs & Capabilities

  • Hardware Interfaces: One (1) RS485 Master uplink port actively splitting into Eight (8) independent RS485 Slave downlink ports (using pluggable 2PIN terminals).
  • Industrial Protection: Outfitted with 2500V optical isolation and 12KV electrostatic discharge (ESD) surge protection to block destructive transients.
  • Adaptive Baud Rate: Plug-and-play intelligent processing automatically synchronizes with host network speeds ranging from 300 bps up to 460.8 kbps.
  • Network Expansion: Functions as a powerful signal repeater, securely extending the communication distance of each individual RS485 branch by up to 1200 meters.
  • Form Factor: Compact, standard 35mm DIN-rail mountable enclosure with comprehensive LED diagnostic indicators for instant visual troubleshooting.
