LORDWORLD FT232RL USB to Serial TTL 3.3V 6ft Gender Changer

SKU CH-9AVA-AX5WF

Connects USB to 3.3V TTL serial with a 6ft cable and 2.54mm 6-pin female header

  • FT232RL chip provides reliable USB-to-serial conversion
  • 3 V TTL levels suit Galileo Gen2 and similar boards
  • 6 ft cable gives flexible placement for console access
  • 54 mm 6-pin female housing matches standard pinouts
  • EEPROM support allows Vendor ID rewrite via Mprog 3.5

FT232RL USB-to-serial cable for Galileo Gen2

This cable uses the FT232RL chip to provide a USB-to-UART bridge at 3.3 V logic levels. It is intended for developers and hobbyists who need a console or programming link to a Galileo Gen2 board or similar 3.3 V targets.

Six-pin 2.54 mm housing with labelled leads

The 0.1 inch 1×6 female connector breaks out GND, CTS, VCC at 5 V, TXD, RXD and RTS on colour-coded wires. This pinout matches the ttl-232r-3v3 specification so the cable plugs straight onto the board header without an adapter.

Driver install from the chip vendor site

The FT232RL supports both VCP and D2XX drivers, plus EEPROM re-write and Mprog 3.5 for Vendor ID changes. Installation requires a manual download from the official FT232RL website; missing or mismatched drivers are the most common cause of a non-enumerating port.

Questions about this item

Will the 6 ft cable or the 0.1 inch pitch 6-pin housing need replacement after heavy use?

The cable is a fixed 6 ft length with a moulded USB connector; the 0.1 inch pitch 6-pin female housing is soldered to the wire ends, so neither part is user-replaceable.

What electrical limit appears first when the FT232RL chip drives continuous UART traffic at 3.3 V?

The FT232RL supplies 3.3 V TTL levels and draws bus power from USB; sustained throughput is limited by the chip’s internal UART buffer and the USB 2.0 bulk endpoint bandwidth.

How much heat or noise does the adapter produce when left plugged in all day?

The FT232RL draws only USB bus power, has no fan or moving parts, and runs silently with barely perceptible warmth during continuous operation.
