RTI Now Shipping CPB-1 Control Port Connecting Block

A leading manufacturer of professional-grade, integrator-friendly control solutions, Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI), has announced that the company is now shipping its CPB-1 control port connecting block.
For integrators, the cost-effective solution powers an RTI in-wall controller while providing both infrared (IR) and RS-232 control of local devices.
Ideal for one-room installations such as boardrooms, classrooms, or stand-alone rooms, RTI's CPB-1 provides power to one RTI in-wall system controller and features two output ports that allow the connection of up to two single or dual IR emitters.
To lower costs, the connecting block's RS-232 port allows for the serial control of devices, from an RTI in-wall controller, without the need of a separate RTI central control processor.
For a simple, clean installation, the CPRB-1's RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter allows for connection to almost any serial control device.
Pete Baker, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for RTI, said: "Now, more than ever, integrators are looking for cost-effective solutions without sacrificing the quality and performance their customers rely on. That is exactly what our CPB-1 provides, and we are excited to announce that it is now available and shipping to our network of dealers."
The 16-V CPB-1 features a durable steel enclosure with a black powder coating. Measuring 4 inches by 3.5 inches by 1.1 inches (width by height by depth), the connecting block can be wall mounted or free standing. The CPB-1 provides variable IR output power and is IR input compatible with industry-standard repeaters and receivers.
