Small form factor

Overview

Close the communication gap. For data loggers, industrial automation, SCADA, and embedded systems in rugged environments. MLink turns a beadedstream Digital Temperature Cable (DTC) into a Modbus or JSON node. Use MLink for the most rugged and space-constrained protocol conversion needs. MLink is molded in-line with DTCs at the factory.
