The StarTech 1P10FFCN-USB-SERIAL is a 10-foot (3-meter) USB to null modem serial adapter cable designed to bridge the gap between modern USB-equipped systems and legacy serial devices. This adapter utilizes a genuine FTDI FT232R chipset, ensuring reliable data transfer up to 921.6 Kbps. It's ideal for connecting industrial equipment, network devices, or other serial peripherals that require a null modem configuration for direct device-to-device communication, such as console access for network switches or configuration of certain industrial controllers. The integrated COM retention feature allows the serial port to maintain its assigned COM port number across reboots, simplifying device management in complex systems. ESD protection up to 15kV (air) and 8kV (contact) safeguards connected equipment.
This adapter is compatible with systems running Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports USB 2.0 and 1.1 host controllers. The RS-232 serial interface is standard and should interface with any device requiring a null modem serial connection, including many network switches, routers, industrial automation equipment, and legacy diagnostic tools. Specific compatibility with certain VMS or NVR systems requiring a direct serial connection for configuration or control can be verified against the system's documentation for RS-232 null modem input.
The adapter draws power directly from the USB host port, requiring no external power supply. It supports data bits 7 or 8, stop bits 1 or 2, and various parity settings (Even, Odd, None, Space, Mark), allowing for broad compatibility with diverse serial devices. The operating and storage temperature range of -40°C to 80°C makes it suitable for deployment in various environmental conditions, though the cable itself is not rated for extreme outdoor exposure without additional protection.
