USB to RS485 serial cable 1.8 m

This Werleo cable connects RS485 devices to a USB port using built-in FT232RQ and SP485EN chips. The 1.8 m length suits bench testing and permanent installs alike. A transparent USB plug shows Tx and Rx LEDs for quick traffic checks. It draws 5 V power from the host and presents six colour-coded wire ends.

Engineers wiring PLCs sensors or industrial buses

The six-wire pigtail gives direct access to GND data lines power and two terminator pins for bus-end wiring. Users who need a DB9 or terminal-block connector will need a different adapter. Buyers requiring galvanic isolation or multi-drop bias resistors should look at isolated converters instead.

Six colour-coded wire ends with terminator pins

The cable terminates in six flying leads: black for ground yellow for data minus red for 5 V power brown for terminator one orange for data plus and green for terminator two. This pinout decides whether the cable matches your device screw terminals without extra crimping.

Questions about this item

Which cable length should I choose for my RS485 installation?

This model is supplied as a 1.8 metre cable with six colour-coded wires; no alternative lengths are offered.

What does the FT232RQ chip do once the cable is connected to a PC?

The FT232RQ provides the USB-to-UART bridge so the host sees a standard COM port, while the SP485EN translates those signals to differential RS-485 levels on the six-way wire end.

Does the USB connector limit the maximum RS-485 bus speed?

The FT232RQ supports baud rates well above typical RS-485 requirements, so the practical speed cap comes from cable length, termination and the SP485EN transceiver rather than the USB interface.
