Flex Link Serial Cables
Global Caché’s Flex is the first multi-functional IoT gateway that connects almost any electronic device to a WiFi or TCP/IP network so that it can be controlled and automated. Using our plug-and-play Flex Link Cables, the Flex adds intelligence to devices not IP-enabled by connecting them to the automation and control software of your choice. In addition, the Flex supports HTTP for web browser control from anywhere on the network.
Flex Link Serial cables allow serial devices to be controlled with the Flex family of products. With the Flex Link RS485 Serial cable, the Flex Link RS232 Serial cable, and the Flex Link RS232 Mini Jack cable, RS232 and RS485 serial devices can be simply connected to the network for seamless control.
The Flex Link RS232 Serial cable and the Flex Link RS232 Mini Jack cable provide connections to devices with different physical RS232 connectors. The Flex Link RS232 Serial cable features a standard DB9 connector that allows for swapping pins in setup. The Flex Link RS232 Mini Jack cable utilizes a 3.5 mm mini jack, allowing for direct connections to 3.5 mm mini jack RS232 ports and serial inputs on many common TVs and other AV devices.
