What the cable does

The Vszerda USB 2.0 to RS232 DB9 cable converts a USB 2.0 port into a standard 9-pin serial connection using an FTDI chipset. It is built for technicians and engineers who must link legacy serial gear to modern computers.

Who it suits and who it does not

The adapter fits Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Linux and Mac OS X systems and works with modems, PLCs, POS terminals, barcode scanners and similar DB9 devices. It will not serve equipment that requires a USB 3.0 or higher host interface.

Deciding specification

The built-in FTDI chipset provides full RS232 modem control signals and installs as a standard Windows COM port, which is the single factor that determines reliable operation with industrial and point-of-sale hardware.
