Breakout Box

A Breakout Box is an electronic measuring instrument for monitoring and rerouting the signal transmission between at least two devices. As intermediate switching devices, breakout boxes are simply connected directly between the cable connection and the device.

The advantage of a breakout box is, among other things, the ability to integrate non-standard devices into a standard environment. Furthermore, breakout boxes enable communication between data terminal equipment (DTE) or data transmission equipment (DCE).
