The difference between serial server and serial to Ethernet module

The difference between serial server and serial to Ethernet module

 1. From the appearance

The serial server is a serial port to Ethernet module plus a shell, which has the function of electromagnetic isolation.

2. From the volume

The size of the serial port to Ethernet module is about 44×32×15mm, and the size of the serial port server is about 95×84×25mm.

3. From the price

The price of the serial port to Ethernet module is half cheaper than that of the serial port server. Once the user passes the test, they will purchase it in large quantities. In terms of price, different manufacturers have different product quality and service, so there will be some discrepancies in price.

4. Functionally

The functions of the serial server and the serial to Ethernet module are exactly the same.

All in all, if your serial port device is an off-the-shelf device, and the device case cannot be opened and put into the module, then you can choose a serial port server, which can be used externally. But the price is relatively high.

If you are the manufacturer of the serial port device, have the ability to reassemble and design the device, and need to reduce the cost, you can consider using the serial port to Ethernet module and build the module into your device.
