Extron IPL EXP S2 (part number 60-1905-01) — a PoE-powered control system expansion interface that adds two bidirectional RS-232 serial ports to any IP Link Pro system over a single Ethernet cable.

The S2 drops in near serial-controlled equipment that's too far from the main processor for a direct cable run, then connects back over the network. It draws power entirely over Ethernet (802.3af, Class 3), so no local power supply is required, and mounts to a rack, furniture, or pole using the included ZipClip 200 clip.

Where It Is Used

Installations with serial-controlled displays or equipment located far from the main control processor use the S2 to add local RS-232 ports over the existing network instead of running dedicated serial cable.
