USB-A to DB25 serial adapter

This adapter cable connects a DB25 serial device to a USB-A port on a laptop or desktop. It supports USB 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 interfaces for broad compatibility. The 1.82 metre length provides flexible placement for peripherals such as digital cameras, POS equipment, barcode readers and modems. No IRQ resources are consumed, simplifying multi-device setups.

Sustained data transfer up to 115.2 K

The link maintains high speed serial transfer rates of up to 115.2 K during continuous operation. Because the adapter does not require IRQ assignments, multiple units can run simultaneously without resource conflicts. This makes it reliable for long-running tasks such as industrial data logging or security system monitoring. Performance remains steady without the overhead of legacy interrupt handling.

25-pin male connector with moulded strain relief

The DB25 male end mates securely with standard RS-232 equipment, while the USB-A male plug fits any modern host port. Moulded connector hoods protect the solder joints from daily connect and disconnect cycles. The six foot cable resists kinking when routed behind desks or through cable trays. Buyers needing a DB9 or gender-changed interface will require a separate adapter.

Questions about this item

How much power does the USB-A to DB25 adapter draw when it runs continuously?

The adapter is bus-powered from the USB port and uses no IRQs, so it adds negligible load even when left connected all day.

What must the host computer already provide for this adapter to function?

A free USB-A port that supports USB 1.1, USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 is all that is required; the DB25 male end plugs straight into the serial device.

Will the 115.2 K serial link work reliably with legacy RS-232 equipment I still use?

Yes, the adapter converts USB to traditional RS-232 at up to 115.2 K, so existing modems, barcode readers, POS gear or other serial peripherals operate as before.
