industrial USB to RS232/485/TTL isolated converter by Waveshare Electronics

[Kiriakos GR]

industrial USB to RS232/485/TTL isolated converter, this is a special purpose gadget.

I came across of a digital power meter factory, which them skipped to equip their instruments with isolated communication ports of USB and or RS-232 and or RS-485.
And they now force potential buyers, them to purchase an external communication isolated box from them.
Their pack of offerings includes single conversion solution, from instrument output connector to RS-232, or USB or RS-485.
And their boxes has inflated pricing too.

Since the beginning of 2019, Waveshare Electronics this has dominate this market, by a single offering this loaded with a combination of ports.

And in my case, Waveshare isolated communication controller, this is 25% cheaper than the offering of digital power meter factory.

I am planing to get a bench-top digital power meter for my lab, and I am exploring all my options about having an isolated communication link with my PC.
In the positive side of things, I do read only positive user reviews, about this Waveshare product.
