StarTech 3ft/1m USB To Serial Cable

Expand a laptop or desktop with a serial RS232 port through a free USB-A port.

Enhance your USB-A capable data terminal (e.g., desktop or laptop) with this 1-meter USB-to-serial adapter cable for serial RS-232 communication.

Serial Expansion

The USB-to-serial adapter adds a serial RS-232 DB/DE-9 (male) port to a desktop or laptop computer via a Type A USB port. Attach the adapter to a serial device using the pre-installed and removable slotted D-sub thumb screws, or install the included DB-9 nuts to ensure compatibility with other serial devices or cables.

LED Indicators

The LED indicators for data transmission and reception on the adapter allow for real-time monitoring of connection activity. The USB LED indicates whether the adapter has been successfully connected to the desktop or laptop computer. All LEDs assist in diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Seamless Connectivity

The adapter is compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. Drivers for Windows 7 and newer versions, as well as macOS 10.15 and newer, and Linux are automatically installed. The USB to RS-232 adapter features a COM retention function that automatically reassigns the COM port value when the cable is unplugged and reinserted or when the system is restarted.

Built for Durability

The robust TPE construction and level 4 ESD protection (15 kV air and 8 kV contact) enhance the reliability and longevity of the USB-to-serial adapter. The copper shielding minimizes electromagnetic and high-frequency interference (EMI and RFI). Gold-plated connectors improve signal conductivity.
