  • Adds a serial port to a PC via USB

USB to RS-232 serial adapter with 25-pin adapter

The Bluecctv BL-800A adds a serial port to a PC or DVR through a USB connection. It supports 9-pin RS-232 devices directly and 25-pin equipment via the supplied adapter. The three-foot cable suits installers who need legacy serial connectivity on modern hardware.

Plug-and-play installation with driver CD

Drivers are provided on the included CD for Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP and Vista plus Mac OS 8 or higher. The adapter is FCC and CE approved. Builders without a CD drive or running unsupported operating systems will need to source drivers elsewhere.

Sustained serial communication over USB

The link maintains a steady RS-232 data stream for modems, industrial gear or surveillance recorders without the timing jitter common on short-burst USB traffic. It draws power from the USB port so no external supply is required. Users needing galvanic isolation or multi-port expansion should consider a different solution.
