It replaces multiple USB dongles for RS485, RS232 and TTL UART work, making it well suited to field engineering, IoT development and industrial automation.The converter provides one fully isolated RS485 channel, one fully isolated RS232 channel and two TTL UART channels that can operate simultaneously. The RS485 and RS232 interfaces include signal and power isolation to help protect connected computers and prototypes from high-voltage surges, ground loops and electrical noise.A built-in boost converter turns USB 5V input into 12V, 5V and 3.3V outputs, so you can power and debug compatible sensors or controllers from a laptop without carrying a bench supply or wall adaptor. Lever-type spring terminals make wiring quick in the field, and the dedicated driver uses smart port naming to help identify the correct COM port.The package includes one RainbowLink V2 4 Channel USB to Serial Converter. Product wiki and driver download documentation are provided by DFRobot.Features:Pocket-sized debugging workstation: Combines multiple serial interfaces and power outputs into one device.Four independent communication channels: All channels operate independently and can be used simultaneously.RS485 channel: Fully isolated interface for industrial PLCs and long-distance sensors.RS232 channel: Fully isolated interface for legacy hardware and standard serial devices.Dual TTL channels: Two TTL (UART) channels for microcontrollers, GPS modules and sensors.Integrated portable power supply: Built-in boost converter for powering 12V industrial sensors in the field.Power conversion: Converts USB 5V input into 12V (800mA), 5V (2A), and 3.3V (200mA) outputs.Industrial-grade protection: Full Signal & Power Isolation for the RS485 and RS232 interfaces.Surge and noise protection: Helps block high-voltage surges, ground loops and electrical noise.Smart Port Naming: Dedicated driver clearly names the ports in Device Manager, such as "RainbowLink RS485".Tool-free wiring: Lever-type spring terminals allow quick wire insertion and removal.Wire compatibility: Terminals accept 12-22AWG wire.Application support: Powers and debugs water level sensors, soil meters or PLCs directly from a laptop USB port.Field use: Suitable for outdoor sensor testing, industrial maintenance and R&D prototyping.Specifications:Model: RainbowLink V2 (TEL0190)Input Interface: USB Type-C (5V)Total Channels: 4 Independent ChannelsCommunication Protocols: 1x RS485 (Isolated), 1x RS232 (Isolated), 2x TTLPower Output: 12V @ 800mAIsolation Voltage: Signal & Power Isolation (for RS485 & RS232)Baud Rate Support: 2400bps - 128000bpsOperating Systems: Windows, Linux (including Raspberry Pi), MacOSDimensions: 77mm × 57mm × 21mm (Fully Enclosed PC Housing)Use it for debugging RS485 soil sensors, connecting safely to PLCs over isolated RS232, or monitoring TTL data from boards such as an ESP32 and a GPS module at the same time. ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDSEsBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--1d7cf4c2fd3399e083e913b5b56e7c47d6d8ce31/TEL0190_Main_01.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDVksBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--67ce550ff6613b2a6e1e6463b4c5a83f05ca35c8/TEL0190_Dim_02.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDXksBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--a0f373e04ca86b82238ec93384538e263a866bbf/TEL0190_Back_03.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDZ0sBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--6bf0a34c2c2cbf370bcf1f81531ef15d57e7a766/TEL0190_Detail_04.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDcEsBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--b8d08440ad09d0cd1348446a2c62f166adc77b97/TEL0190_Detail_05.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
