Description

StarTech 1P6FFCN-USB-C-SERIAL USB-C to RS-232 Null Modem Adapter

Overview

The StarTech 1P6FFCN-USB-C-SERIAL is a 6-foot USB-C to RS-232 null modem adapter cable. It bridges the gap between modern USB-C equipped hosts and legacy serial devices, ensuring continued operational use of critical equipment. This adapter is ideal for connecting industrial controllers, scientific instruments, or point-of-sale systems that rely on serial communication to USB-C enabled laptops or workstations. The integrated FTDI chipset provides reliable serial access with automatic driver installation and COM port retention, simplifying deployment in environments where serial device management is essential.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any host system featuring a USB Type-C port running Windows, macOS, or Linux. It supports connection to a wide range of RS-232 serial devices, including but not limited to: industrial automation equipment, scientific instrumentation, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, network devices requiring console access, and older surveillance system components. The included DB9 connector nuts can be swapped for screws for a more secure connection to serial cables or devices.

Installation Notes

The adapter utilizes standard USB drivers, often automatically installed by the operating system. COM port retention ensures that the assigned serial port number remains consistent across reboots, which is critical for applications that depend on a fixed COM port designation. TX/RX and USB activity LEDs provide visual feedback on data transfer and connection status, aiding in troubleshooting.
