About this product

Please note: this is a non-returnable item (excluding faulty goods)

Kantech VC-485 is an interface from the VC-485 range.

The VC-485 is an RS-232 / RS-485 protocol converter primarily used to connect a PC to a KT-200/KT-300 controller. The maximum bus length is 5 km (18,000', when line repeater is used) and 1,2 km (4,000') for EntraPass and WinPass when using Ethernet Grade 3, unshielded, two twisted pair cable (Belden 1227A recommended). Two VC-485's may be connected backto-back to be used as a line repeater in order to extend the RS-485 communication bus.

The VC-485 Communication Interface is UL listed if used with a KT-300 and is horizontally mounted on a desk using the velcro adhesive supplied on the back of the unit.

Key features

  • Use unshielded, twisted communication cable
  • Supports up to 32 Kantech controllers
  • Connects PC to KT-100/KT-200/KT-300 controllers

If you are matching this to an existing installation, work from the VC-485 part number rather than the description.

Kantech VC-485 interface

Who this is for

For the installer — this is the interface supplied under Kantech part number VC-485. Specify it by that part number.

The entries in the specification table are the ones held against this part number. Anything not listed there is not stated by us, and should be confirmed against the manufacturer's own documentation.

In plain English: this is an interface made by Kantech. The part number VC-485 is the manufacturer's own code for this exact version of it.

Similar-looking items in the same family often differ only by a suffix on that code. If you are replacing something, match the code rather than the picture.

Buying this in the UK

We are a UK supplier and this interface is sold and shipped from the UK. Prices are shown in pounds sterling.

This item is non-returnable, excluding faulty goods. That restriction comes from the manufacturer's own terms for this line.

We do not quote a warranty term for this part. Every supplier-stated term we have checked against the manufacturer's own document has turned out to be wrong, so we would rather say nothing than say something we cannot stand behind.

Ask us and we will check it for you. Your statutory rights are unaffected.

Stock on this line moves, and lead times move with it. Ask us for the current position before you commit to a date on site.

Questions we get asked

Is this the exact interface I have been quoted? Check the manufacturer part number VC-485 against your quote. That code is the only reliable identity for this item.

Is there a datasheet? Yes — the documentation attached to this listing was checked and names this exact part number. Documents that named only the family, or a different item, are not attached.

Can you check compatibility for us? Ask before you order and we will check it against the manufacturer's own documentation. We do not state compatibility that the record does not carry.

Why does the listing not answer every question? Because the specification held against VC-485 answers some questions and not others. We would rather leave a gap visible than fill it with something we cannot show you.

What if I order the wrong version? Tell us the installation you are matching and we will work back to the part number with you. That is a faster conversation than a return.

Do you hold this in stock? Availability on this line changes through the week, so the honest answer is to ask us on the day. We will give you the current position rather than a general one.
