In today’s industrial and commercial environments, eliminating unnecessary wiring can simplify installations, reduce costs, and improve system flexibility. The DC-MT-USB-W Wireless USB Serial Data Link from DC-Digital provides a powerful solution for transmitting serial data wirelessly between devices, computers, and digital display systems over long distances.

Designed for dependable communication and easy setup, the DC-MT-USB-W converts USB serial data into RF wireless data and can also convert RF wireless serial data back into USB serial communication. Whether you need to connect a computer to a remote display, transmit clock synchronization data, or create a wireless serial communication bridge, this versatile device delivers reliable performance with plug-and-play simplicity.

Simple USB Connectivity

One of the most convenient features of the DC-MT-USB-W is its USB interface. The unit connects directly to a computer through the included 6-foot USB cable and automatically installs the necessary drivers when connected to compatible Windows systems running Vista or newer. This eliminates complicated setup procedures and allows users to begin transmitting data quickly.

The transmitter is configured at the factory for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (9600 8N1) on channel 0, making it ready for immediate deployment in many applications. For specialized requirements, the radio can be programmed through the USB port to accommodate different command mode operations, baud rates, channels, and communication protocols.

High-Powered Wireless Performance

At the heart of the DC-MT-USB-W is the XBee Pro S3B 900 MHz frequency-hopping radio. This industrial-grade wireless technology provides dependable communication while minimizing interference in demanding environments.

The system supports full duplex operation, allowing simultaneous transmission and reception of data. With a typical operating range of up to 1,500 feet, the DC-MT-USB-W offers excellent flexibility for installations where running communication cables would be difficult, costly, or impractical.

This extended wireless range makes the unit ideal for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, production lines, offices, schools, athletic facilities, and other applications where equipment must communicate across large areas.

Plug-and-Play Operation

Ease of use is a key advantage of the DC-MT-USB-W. Once connected to a USB port, the device receives its operating power directly from the computer, requiring no external power supply. Operating at 5 volts and drawing approximately 500mA through the USB connection, installation remains clean and straightforward.

Built-in LED indicators provide instant visual confirmation of system status:

  • Green Power LED confirms power is present.
  • Red Data-Out LED indicates active data transmission.

These indicators make troubleshooting and system monitoring quick and convenient.

Rugged Construction for Industrial Environments

The DC-MT-USB-W is housed in a durable black polycarbonate clamshell enclosure designed for long-term reliability. The flame-resistant housing meets UL 94HB standards, providing additional safety and durability in industrial and commercial settings.

Its compact tabletop design measures just 4.5 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 1.75 inches tall, allowing the unit to fit easily into control rooms, offices, equipment racks, and workstations without occupying excessive space.

Flexible Applications

The versatility of the DC-MT-USB-W makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, including:

  • Wireless communication between computers and digital clocks
  • Remote display synchronization
  • Industrial process monitoring
  • Wireless serial data transfer
  • Manufacturing production systems
