Product Features
Technical Overview
This adapter cable converts USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 ports into a standard RS232 Null Modem serial DB9 port, specifically configured as a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) interface. The DB-9 RS-232 connector features a female interface with standard pinout for serial communication, while the USB 2.0 Type A male connector plugs directly into host computers or hubs.
The FTDI chipset implementation provides robust driver support across multiple operating systems including Windows, Windows CE, Mac OS, and Linux. This ensures broad compatibility with various computing platforms while maintaining data integrity through stable signal conversion between USB and serial protocols.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This adapter cable solves specific connectivity challenges in mixed-interface environments where modern computing equipment must interface with legacy serial devices. The direct DCE configuration eliminates the need for additional gender changers or crossover cables that can complicate installation and introduce potential points of failure.
Simplified Connectivity
Provides a single-cable solution for USB to RS232 conversion without requiring intermediate adapters or complex wiring configurations.
- Resolves DCE/DTE conflicts directly
- Maintains COM port consistency
- Plug-and-play with driver installation
Reliable Performance
FTDI chipset ensures stable data transfer between USB and serial interfaces with consistent performance across supported operating systems.
- Wide OS compatibility
- Stable signal conversion
- Durable construction
Deployment / Use Cases
This USB to serial adapter cable serves critical functions in environments where legacy serial equipment remains operational alongside modern computing infrastructure. It enables connectivity between contemporary laptops, desktops, or thin clients and serial-based devices that continue to provide essential services.
Common deployment scenarios include industrial control systems where serial modems or controllers interface with monitoring software, retail environments with legacy receipt printers or cash drawers, and laboratory settings with serial-based measurement instruments. The cable also supports connectivity to network equipment consoles, legacy point-of-sale systems, and specialized medical devices that maintain serial interfaces for reliability and compatibility reasons.
Physical Profile
The 6-foot black cable provides sufficient reach for most desktop and workstation configurations while maintaining signal integrity. The plastic and copper construction offers durability for regular use in office, industrial, or commercial environments. The compact connector design ensures compatibility with closely spaced ports on computers and devices.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.10 oz (87.88 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What type of serial port does this adapter create?
This adapter creates a Null Modem RS232 DB9 serial port configured as DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment). This specific configuration is designed for direct connection to devices like modems without requiring additional crossover cables or gender changers that would typically be needed with standard DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) serial ports.
Does the cable maintain the same COM port assignment?
Yes, the adapter maintains consistent COM port values upon reconnection or system reboot. This COM port retention feature is particularly valuable in environments where specific software applications are configured to communicate with devices on particular COM ports, eliminating the need to reconfigure software settings each time the connection is reestablished.
What devices can I connect with this adapter?
You can connect various serial devices including modems, monitors with serial control, desktop computers, notebooks, MAC systems, PCs, and printers. The adapter is designed for equipment that uses standard RS232 DB9 serial interfaces, making it suitable for industrial controls, legacy peripherals, network equipment consoles, and specialized instruments that maintain serial connectivity.
What is the purpose of the FTDI chip in this cable?
The FTDI USB chipset ensures reliable communication between the USB interface on modern computers and the RS232 serial interface on legacy devices. It handles the protocol conversion between USB and serial communication standards while providing stable driver support across multiple operating systems, resulting in consistent performance and reduced compatibility issues.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
Rocstor provides a 2-year limited warranty for this USB to serial adapter cable. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures product reliability for commercial and industrial applications where consistent serial connectivity is essential for operational continuity.
