The StarTech 1P1FFC-USB-C-SERIAL is a USB-C to RS232 serial adapter cable designed to bridge the gap between modern USB Type-C hosts and legacy serial devices. This adapter utilizes an FTDI chipset, ensuring reliable serial communication and simplifying deployment with automatic driver installation and COM port retention. It's ideal for integrating older industrial equipment, scientific instruments, or point-of-sale peripherals into a USB-C environment. The integrated TX/RX and USB activity LEDs provide visual feedback on data transfer and host connection status, aiding in troubleshooting.
This adapter is compatible with any host system featuring a USB Type-C port running Windows, macOS, or Linux. It supports connection to standard RS232 serial devices via the included DB9 connector with nuts, or by swapping to the provided screws for a more permanent connection. It is suitable for connecting to serial-enabled devices such as barcode scanners, modems, network switches, and industrial control systems that require a COM port interface.
The adapter supports automatic driver installation on most modern operating systems. COM port retention ensures that the assigned COM port number remains consistent across reboots, which is critical for applications that rely on specific port assignments. The included DB9 connector can be secured with nuts for easy connection/disconnection or replaced with screws for a fixed installation. Ensure the connected serial device is configured with appropriate baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits to match the host's COM port settings.
