This USB to DSub 15 pin DB15 male RS232 converter serial cable uses the FT232RL chip to provide a reliable USBtoserial interface. One end connects to USB, the other end terminates in a DB15 male RS232 connector, enabling standard RS232 serial communication over a 5meter cable. Key benefits Enables legacy RS232 devices to connect to modern computers via USB, extending the life of older equipment. FT232RL based USBtoserial conversion for stable operation and wide compatibility with serial devices. USBpowered design eliminates the need for a separate power supply in most applications. Long 5meter cable length provides flexible placement of devices and peripherals. Easy integration with existing RS232 workflows thanks to a simple USB to DB15 setup. Key attributes Functionality: USB to RS232 converter with a DB15 male connector for standard serial communication. Compatibility: FT232RL chipset enables broad compatibility with devices using RS232 signaling (drivers may be required on the host system). Size/Length: 5 meters in length, providing extended reach between computer and serial device. Connector ends: USB interface on one end and DB15 male RS232 connector on the other. Performance: Based on the FT232RL USBtoserial converter for reliable data transmission across RS232 links. Applications and use cases Connecting legacy lab instruments or industrial devices with a DB15 RS232 port to a USBenabled computer for data collection and control. Replacing a missing or damaged serial port on desktops or laptops by adding a USBtoserial interface for equipment calibration, programming, or monitoring. Building or maintaining data logging systems that rely on RS232 communication with sensors or controllers via a long cable run. Notes Requires appropriate FTDI drivers on the host system for operation. The product is a cable assembly with a USB end and a DB15 male RS232 end, designed to deliver standard RS232 signaling through a 5meter length.
