3 FT USB 2.0 Serial Cable

This USB 2.0 serial cable provides a direct link between a USB port and legacy serial equipment. It is built for technicians and hobbyists who need to connect printers, PLCs or console ports to modern computers. The Prolific IC ensures driver support on Windows and macOS without extra configuration. Copper conductors carry the signal through a compact black housing.

Suits Windows and macOS users with USB 2.0 ports

The cable works with any system that supports standard USB 2.0 serial drivers. It is not intended for buyers who need COM port retention, DB-9 gender changers or locking screw terminals. Users requiring multiple serial ports or industrial-grade locking connectors should look at other solutions. The single-port design limits use to one device at a time.

1.3 L x 1.8 W x 0.6 H inch form factor

The overall dimensions of 1.3 L x 1.8 W x 0.6 H inches determine whether the cable fits beside adjacent ports or inside tight enclosures. This single measurement decides if the adapter clears neighbouring cables in a dense rack or laptop layout. No other specification overrides this physical constraint for installation planning.

Questions about this item

Which length should I pick for a tight desk run?

The cable measures 1.3 L x 1.8 W x 0.6 H inches, so it fits short runs without excess slack.

What does the USB 2.0 label mean for actual serial speed?

The USB 2.0 interface sets the maximum link bandwidth, so serial throughput will not exceed that ceiling.

Does the USB 2.0 connector limit what I can plug into?

It uses a standard USB 2.0 Type-A plug, so it works with any host port that accepts that connector.
