CDVI CA-A360-USB CAB Centaur USB to RS-485 Converter

Extend and simplify your access control and security network with the CDVI CA-A360-USB USB to RS-485 Converter. Designed as a control panel accessory for CENTAUR systems, this converter enables daisy-chain communication to CT-V900-A controllers up to 1,220 m (4,000 ft), making it ideal for large campuses, remote gates, and distributed surveillance or monitoring equipment. By converting RS-485 to USB or RS-232, the CA-A360-USB lets you connect legacy controllers directly to PCs or servers without complex rewiring.

Installers benefit from quick diagnostics via Transmit, Receive and Power LEDs and on-board EOL/Bias jumpers that ensure stable line termination and signal integrity. The unit supports common Cat5 UTP cabling and selectable baud rates (9600 or 19,200 bps), and can be powered from a 12 VDC supply or directly from a USB port for flexible deployments. Reliable, cost-effective and purpose-built for security and monitoring environments, the CDVI CA-A360-USB reduces downtime and simplifies integration.
