Product details
The USB-RS232 adaptor cables are a family of communication devices. This model, US232R, provides a
simple method of adapting legacy serial devices with RS232 interfaces to modern USB ports.
simple method of adapting legacy serial devices with RS232 interfaces to modern USB ports.
Each US232R adapter contains a small internal electronic circuit board which utilises the FTDI FT232R,
mounted inside a rugged plastic enclosure capable of withstanding industrial temperature ranges. The
integrated electronics also include RS232 level shifters and TXD/RXD LEDs to provide a visual indication
of data traffic through the adapter.
The Cable incorporates a standard USB-A device connector for connection to an upstream host or hub
port. RS232-level signals, including modem handshake signals, are available on an industry-standard
DE-9P connector. The maximum RS232-level data rate is 1MBaud.
The US232R adapter cable requires USB device drivers, available free from FTDI, which are used to make
the US232R appear as a Virtual COM Port (VCP). This allows existing serial communications software,
such as HyperTerminal, to exchange data through the US232R to a legacy RS232 peripheral device.
