FTDI USB to DB15 Female Cable What it does Converts a USB connection to a 15-pin DB15 female interface using an FTDI-based USB-to-serial solution, allowing a USB-equipped computer to communicate with equipment that has a DB15 connector. Key benefits Reliable data transfer: FTDI-based conversion is widely used for stable, compatible USB-to-serial communication. Simple connection: Eliminates the need for separate adapters or converters when connecting USB hosts to DB15 devices. Flexible placement: Available in three length options to suit desktop, rack, or shop-floor setups. Important attributes Function: USB-to-DB15 (female) cable for serial-style communication via FTDI chipset. Compatibility: For devices that use a 15-pin DB15 female port and support USB-to-serial communication through an FTDI adapter. Sizes available: 1.8M / 6FT, 3.0M / 10FT, 5.0M / 16.4FT (Approx.). Performance: Designed for consistent signal transfer typical of FTDI converters across common serial applications. Practical use scenarios Industrial equipment connection: Link a modern laptop or PC to legacy controllers, test rigs, or measurement instruments that expose a DB15 interface for configuration or data transfer. Field service and diagnostics: Use the cable for firmware updates, troubleshooting, or logging on devices with DB15 ports without changing the host computer’s USB-only interface. Lab and bench setups: Keep reliable connections between computers and specialized hardware (data acquisition modules, interface boxes) where DB15 is the required connector.
