Product Introduction

The TP-232 series optical probe supports power from the RS232 interface and external power supply through other pins of DB9. In terms of RS232 power supply, we use patented technology to steal power from the RX and TX pins of RS232, and drive the optical probe circuit without affecting RS232 interface communication. Tespro China has always adhered to the principle of quality first, we insist on using wide temperature cable materials to ensure that the product can work normally between -40 °C and +70 °C. For 20 years, as always, adhering to quality is our pursuit.
