Industrial USB to RS485 Converter

This industrial-grade isolated converter uses an original FT232RNL chip to translate USB signals into balanced differential RS485 data. It targets engineers and integrators building reliable serial links for automation, instrumentation or remote sensor networks.

300 to 512000 bps with 1.2 km reach

The link runs reliably from 300 bps up to 512000 bps and covers about 1.2 km on the RS485 side while the USB connection stays within 5 metres. It handles multi-drop buses and long cable runs but is not suited for high-throughput streaming or gigabit-class applications.

Isolation and protection built in

Onboard lightning-proof tubes, resettable fuses, ESD and TVS circuits shield both sides from transients. Three status LEDs show power, transmit and receive activity so you can verify the link at a glance. The board lacks DIN-rail mounts or ruggedised enclosures, so panel builders must provide their own mechanical fixing.

Questions about this item

Will the FT232RNL converter work with my Windows 7 industrial PC?

Yes, the board supports Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11, plus Mac, Linux, Android and WinCE, so it will communicate with your legacy PC over USB.

How do I confirm the FT232RNL board is transmitting data correctly after wiring it?

The three onboard LEDs show power, TX and RX activity; when they blink during communication you know the RS485 link is live at up to 512000bps.

Does the LORDWORLD adapter include the USB cable and RS485 terminal plugs?

The converter provides the USB-to-RS485 electronics with isolation and protection; cables and screw-terminal connectors for the RS485 side are not included and must be sourced separately.
