The StarTech 1P6FFCN-USB-SERIAL is a 6.6-foot (2-meter) USB to Null Modem Serial Adapter Cable. It bridges the gap between modern USB-equipped systems and legacy serial devices requiring a null modem connection, such as industrial controllers, network switches, or older diagnostic equipment. This cable utilizes the reliable FTDI FT232R chipset, ensuring stable data transfer up to 921.6 Kbps, making it suitable for environments where direct serial communication is still critical for device management or data acquisition. The USB-A connector interfaces with your computer, while the DB-9 female connector provides the null modem serial port.
This adapter is designed for broad compatibility with systems running Windows, macOS, and Linux. It directly interfaces with any USB 2.0 Type-A port. The null modem configuration allows for direct serial-to-serial communication between two devices without needing a modem, making it ideal for connecting two computers directly or for console port access on network infrastructure devices like routers and switches that require a null modem serial connection for initial configuration or troubleshooting. It supports 7 or 8 data bits, and various parity, stop bit, and flow control settings.
The adapter features built-in ESD protection up to 15kV (air discharge) and 8kV (contact discharge) to safeguard connected equipment. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 80°C, with a humidity tolerance of 0% to 95% RH (non-condensing). The cable itself is 6.6 feet (2 meters) long, providing adequate reach for most workstation or rack-mount deployments. The FTDI chipset typically requires a driver, which is readily available for most operating systems.
