Choosing Tips
- Choose NPort 5150A when you need a single port with RS-232/422/485 flexibility and 0 to 60°C rating
- If you only need RS-232, the NPort 5110A is the simpler, more focused option
- If you have more than one device to connect, a 2-port model like the NPort 5250A may be more cost-effective overall
