The MCCI® Model 4815 is a USB Type-C® to RS-485/Modbus adapter designed for industrial applications. It combines an industry-standard FTDIchip FT232RL USB UART adapter with a Texas Instruments SP3485 RS-485 transceiver.

The Model 4815 comes assembled with clips, and mounts directly on 35 mm IEC/EN60715 DIN rails. The clips also accommodate miniature top-hat rails (15 mm x 5.5 mm) and some G-style rails.

The Model 4815 enumerates as a virtual COM port on Windows 10, macOS, and many Linux and Android systems, using the built-in drivers of those operating systems; no driver install is required. The FT232RL automatically controls the transmission mode of the RS-485 transceiver without software intervention.

The Model 4815 converter board includes the USB UART, RS-485 conversion chip, TX/RX/RTS LEDs, USB Type-C Connector, ESD protection for USB data line, an over-current protection fuse, a robust screw-terminal connector for the RS-485 signals, and breakout for power and data signal lines.
