What this cable does

The Cables To Go 22429 adapter cable connects a USB Type A port to a DB25 male RS-232 serial port. It lets a modern computer talk to legacy serial equipment such as modems, barcode readers, POS terminals, security devices and cameras. The link supports data rates up to 115.2 K without consuming an IRQ, so several adapters can run at once.

Build and connectors

A grey 6 ft (1.82 m) cable carries a 4-pin USB 1.1 Type A male plug on one end and a 25-pin DB25 male connector on the other. The USB 1.1 interface keeps the design simple and driver-friendly, while the DB25 shell provides the familiar screw-down mounting used by industrial serial gear. No external power is needed.

Before you buy

Confirm that the target device expects a DB25 male RS-232 interface and not a DB25 parallel or other pin-out. Check that your operating system supplies a driver for a USB 1.1 serial bridge; most current systems include one, but specialised or older OS releases may need a manual install. Verify the 6 ft reach suits the equipment layout.
