Industrial Isolated RS485 to USB Converter 
The MODIG RS485-USB ISO is a bidirectional bus converter bridging RS485 networks with a USB interface. The USB side features a high-performance, USB 2.0-compliant FTDI controller paired with a modern USB-C connector. The RS485 side utilizes an industrial transceiver capable of driving a bus network with up to 64 devices. The converter is equipped with advanced noise suppression, surge protection, and robust galvanic isolation circuitry. Additionally, it features an integrated RS485 bus terminator in the form of a switchable 120 Ω resistor.
