Overview
The StarTech 2P1FFC-USB-SERIAL provides a reliable bridge between modern USB ports and legacy RS232 serial devices. This 2-foot cable is essential for integrating older industrial equipment, scientific instruments, or point-of-sale systems that rely on serial communication into a USB-equipped network. Featuring a robust FTDI FT2232H chipset, it ensures stable data transfer up to 921.6Kbps, making it suitable for applications requiring precise control or data logging. The included interchangeable DB9 screws and nuts simplify installation in various environments.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with any system requiring RS232 serial communication, including industrial control systems, scientific data acquisition devices, and legacy POS terminals. It functions as a virtual COM port on Windows operating systems (XP and later), allowing seamless integration with existing serial device drivers and applications. It is also compatible with Linux and macOS systems that support USB serial device drivers.
Installation Notes
The adapter supports data bits (7 or 8), stop bits (1 or 2), and parity modes (Even, Odd, Mark, Space, None), configurable via software. ESD protection up to Level-4 (15kV air/8kV contact) is built-in to safeguard connected equipment. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 80°C allows deployment in demanding environments.
