StarTech 1P6FFC-USB-C-SERIAL USB-C to RS232 Serial Adapter
Overview
The StarTech 1P6FFC-USB-C-SERIAL is a 6-foot USB-C to RS232 serial adapter cable. It bridges the gap between modern USB Type-C hosts and legacy serial devices, ensuring reliable data communication. This adapter is ideal for integrating industrial equipment, scientific instruments, or point-of-sale systems that rely on serial ports into a USB-C environment. The integrated FTDI chipset provides stable serial access, with drivers that install automatically and retain COM port assignments across reboots. TX/RX and USB activity LEDs offer visual confirmation of data transfer and host connection status.
Compatibility
This adapter is designed for use with any host system featuring a USB Type-C port, including modern laptops, desktops, and tablets running Windows, macOS, or Linux. It supports standard RS232 serial devices. The included DB9 connector features captive screws for secure connections to serial cables or devices, with the option to swap them for nuts if preferred.
Installation Notes
Driver installation is typically automatic on supported operating systems. For devices requiring a specific COM port number, the adapter retains the last assigned COM port designation. The 6-foot cable length provides moderate reach between the host and the serial device.
