Add an RS232 serial port to a laptop or desktop computer using an available USB-A port

Add RS-232 serial communication support to a USB-A enabled data terminal equipment (DTE - e.g., a desktop or laptop computer) using this 2-meter straight-through USB to serial adapter cable.

Serial Port Expansion

The USB serial adapter adds an RS-232 DB/DE-9 (male) serial connector to a desktop or laptop computer via a USB Type-A port. Secure the adapter to a serial device using the pre-installed, removable slotted D-Sub thumbscrews or install the included DB-9 nuts for compatibility with other serial peripheral devices or cables.

LED Indicators

The adapter's data transmit and receive LED indicators provide real-time monitoring of port activity. The USB LED indicates when the adapter has been successfully enumerated on the desktop or laptop computer. All LEDs assist with diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Hassle-Free Connectivity

The adapter is compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. Drivers install automatically on Windows 7 and newer versions, macOS 10.15 and higher, and Linux. The USB to RS-232 adapter features COM retention, which automatically reassigns the COM port value if the cable is disconnected and reconnected, or if the system is restarted.

Built to Last

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