Connect legacy serial devices via USB
This adapter adds a single 9-pin RS-232 port to any computer with an available USB connection. It uses an FTDI FT232 processor chip to deliver reliable data links for modems, ISDN terminal adapters, PDAs, barcode scanners and label printers. The cable is USB bus-powered and supports plug-and-play operation on Windows and Mac without an external power supply.
Suits users with one serial peripheral
It is ideal for technicians and hobbyists who need to connect a single RS-232 instrument such as a label printer or barcode scanner to a modern laptop. Builders who must drive multiple serial devices simultaneously or who require an internal header connection should look at a different solution.
RS-232 data rate up to 921 Kbps
The adapter handles serial transfer speeds up to 921 Kbps while the USB link runs at up to 12 Mbps. A 128-byte receive buffer and 256-byte transmit buffer with buffer-smoothing technology sustain high throughput. ESD protection rated at ±15 kV HBM shields the port from static damage.
