StarTech ICUSB232C USB-C to RS232 Serial Adapter
Overview
The StarTech ICUSB232C provides a reliable bridge between modern USB Type-C ports and legacy RS232 serial devices. This adapter is essential for integrating older industrial equipment, scientific instruments, or point-of-sale systems into current IT infrastructure. Its compact form factor and USB power draw make it ideal for mobile or fixed deployments where space and power are constrained. The ICUSB232C model supports data rates up to 921.6 Kbps, ensuring compatibility with most serial communication requirements.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 7 and later, macOS 10.11 and later, and Linux kernel 2.6 and later. It connects to any standard USB Type-C port, making it suitable for laptops, desktops, and tablets equipped with this connector. The DB9 male connector ensures direct compatibility with most RS232 serial ports found on industrial controllers, network devices, and legacy peripherals.
Installation Notes
The adapter is powered directly from the USB Type-C port, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. It supports various data bits (5, 6, 7, 8), parity settings (Odd, Even, Mark, Space, None), and stop bits (1, 1.5, 2), along with multiple flow control options (None, xon/xoff, RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR) to match specific device requirements. The 512-byte FIFO buffer helps manage data flow efficiently.
