The FT232RL CHIP USB TO RS485 DSUB 15PIN DB15 FEMALE ADAPTER is a USBbased RS485 interface that uses the FT232RL chipset to bridge a computer or USBenabled controller with RS485 devices. The DB15 pin female RS485 connector provides a standard connection point for industrial and development equipment, while the 3metre black cable gives flexible placement in confined spaces or between cabinets and workstations. Key benefits Easy USB to RS485 conversion: Enables a computer or USBenabled device to communicate with RS485 networks without additional adapters. FT232RL chipset reliability: Utilizes a wellestablished USBtoserial bridge for stable performance. Standard RS485 interface: Dsub 15pin female connector ensures compatibility with common RS485 devices and networks. Flexible installation: Includes a 3metre length (3 metres) of cable in black for versatile positioning and routing. Simple setup and broad compatibility: Works with standard USBtoserial driver support typical for FTDIbased devices, offering straightforward integration into various systems. Key attributes Chipset: FT232RL Interface: USB to RS485 Connector: DSUB 15pin (DB15) female Cable length: 3 metres Color: Black Application type: USBtoRS485 adapter for communication with RS485 devices Use cases Connecting a PC or USB host to an RS485 industrial device network for data collection, monitoring, or control. USBenabled development work with microcontrollers or embedded boards that use RS485 transceivers, enabling quick prototyping and testing. Onsite configuration or diagnostics of RS485 sensors, PLCs, or motor controllers where a longer cable helps reach equipment in cabinet or rack installations. This adapter provides a practical, plugandplay solution for integrating RS485 devices with USB hosts, offering a reliable FT232RLbased bridge, a standard DB15 female RS485 connection, and a 3metre black cable for flexible setup.
