The StarTech 1P6FFC-USB-SERIAL is a 6.6-foot (2-meter) USB to RS-232 serial adapter cable designed to bridge the gap between modern USB-equipped systems and legacy serial devices. This adapter is essential for integrating older industrial equipment, point-of-sale systems, or network devices that rely on COM ports into a USB-centric environment. Its robust design, featuring an FTDI FT232R chipset, ensures reliable data transfer up to 921.6 Kbps, making it suitable for demanding applications where stable serial communication is critical. The inclusion of interchangeable screws for the DB-9 connector allows for secure attachment to devices requiring a firm connection.
This adapter is compatible with any system featuring a USB 2.0 Type-A port and requiring an RS-232 serial connection. It functions with standard operating system drivers for the FTDI FT232R chipset, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is designed to interface with a wide range of serial devices, including but not limited to: industrial automation controllers, scientific instruments, network switches requiring console access, and older POS peripherals. For surveillance systems, this adapter can be used to connect serial-based PTZ camera controllers or legacy DVRs to a PC or NVR for configuration or monitoring purposes.
The adapter supports data rates up to 921.6 Kbps, providing ample bandwidth for most serial communication needs. It offers flexible data bit configurations (7 or 8 bits) and stop bit settings (1 or 2 bits), along with multiple parity modes (Even, Odd, None, Space, Mark) to match the requirements of diverse serial devices. The 128-byte Rx buffer and 256-byte Tx buffer help manage data flow efficiently. The cable is rated for operation between -40°C and 80°C, with similar storage temperature limits, and can withstand 0% to 95% RH humidity. Integrated 15kV air and 8kV contact ESD protection safeguards connected equipment from electrostatic discharge.
