Description

StarTech ICUSB232PRO USB to RS232 Serial Adapter Cable

Overview

The StarTech ICUSB232PRO provides a compact, 12-inch solution for integrating legacy serial devices into modern USB-equipped systems. This adapter is essential for connecting industrial equipment, point-of-sale terminals, or scientific instruments that rely on RS-232 communication to computers lacking native serial ports. Its COM port retention feature ensures that the assigned COM port number remains consistent across reboots, critical for applications that depend on fixed port assignments. This TAA-compliant adapter is suitable for government or commercial deployments requiring adherence to trade agreements.

Compatibility

This adapter is designed for broad compatibility with operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports a wide range of RS-232 serial devices, such as barcode scanners, modems, network equipment, and serial printers. The adapter utilizes standard USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) for host connection and provides a male DB9 connector for serial device interface. It is ideal for extending the life of existing serial hardware within surveillance systems, automation setups, or laboratory environments.

Installation Notes

The adapter operates within a temperature range of -10°C to 80°C (14°F to 176°F), allowing for deployment in various environmental conditions. Storage temperatures can range from -20°C to 100°C (-4°F to 212°F). It requires a humidity level between 5% and 85% RH (non-condensing). The maximum baud rate supported is 921.6 Kbps, ensuring compatibility with most serial communication needs.
