Supports over 1Mbps data transfer rate Original Packing Included 1 x USB 2.0 to DB9 RS232 Converter Cable (16ft) 1 x CD software driver Review: Solved My Problem - I needed to update the firmware in a ham radio transceiver. I tried to use the cable and interface provided by the radio manufacturer and it would not communicate with the radio. My computer does not have an RS-232 interface (few do now) so I had to find a compatible USB to 9-oin serial interface. This one did the trick and was easy to set up. The workmanship for the cable is excellent and the LEDs in the 9 pin connector are somewhat helpful but not entirely necessary for my purposes. The only issue was that the 9 pin connector is a male connector and I needed to to have a female connector. Fortunately, I had a compatible gender-changer cable on hand. I bought the 4 foot length cable. I wish that they made a 6 foot version but I was able to get by with the 4 foot. The other available lengths are much too long. Bottom line: excellent, sturdy cable. Recommended. Review: and Adicon 2500 RX8 CPU ) that are themselves still useful but were developed prior to USB and required the ... - I got this to communicate with some PC Home automation accessories ( ADI Adicon 2500 Ocelot, and Adicon 2500 RX8 CPU ) that are themselves still useful but were developed prior to USB and required the outdated RS232 connection which most motherboards don't even have now a days especially Mini ITX. Once I got the comm ports identified for my accessories drivers and software it worked like a charm. It's a little slow but I feel this is the bottle neck of outdated RS232 rather then the Cable or USB connection. Was going for PL-2303 adapters but read a bunch of reviews about counterfeit and compatability even with real ones with Windows 10. By the way Windows 10 installed drivers need without issue. Happy I went with this one. ## Features - (It's not USB to VGA monitor cable ) Male serial to USB cable (DB9 9 pin to USB A male) with LED light allows your PC to connect RS-232 serial devices and programs that communicate through COM ports - RS232 USB to serial adapter with FTDI chip is designed for connecting serial devices such as DB9 equipped PC, router, GPS, Programming machine, barcode scanner, label writer, serial modem, digital camera, card reader, palm PC and digital organizer, etc - USB to RS232 cord for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Mac OS 8 or higher, Linux 2.4.0 and later (9 wire pinout 1-9: DCD, RXD, TXD, DTR, GND, DSR, RTS, CTS, RI) - FTDI USB to serial cable adapter is built with a high performance quality processor chip (FT232 Chipset), which makes it one of the most reliable com port to usb adapter on the market - 16ft long extension DB-9 serial port to USB converter is long enough to provide more placement choices for your RS232C devices to reach to a place needed ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01J1HWLMM | | Best Sellers Rank | #41 in Serial Adapters | | Brand | DTECH | | Color | Blue | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Desktop computer, Microcontroller, Router, Modem, PDA, Router, Radio, GPS, Laptop, Printer, vinyl cutter Compatible Devices Desktop, Desktop computer, Microcontroller, Router, Modem, PDA, Router, Radio, GPS, Laptop, Printer, vinyl cutter See more | | Connector Type | Db9, Usb Type-a | | Current Rating | 150 milliamps | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 429 Reviews | | Finish | Matte | | Input Voltage | 5 volts | | Item Dimensions | 9.5 x 6 x 2.2 inches | | Item Type Name | RS232 cable | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 9.5 x 6 x 2.2 inches | | Manufacturer | Guangzhou DTECH Electronics Technology Co.,Ltd | | Mfr Part Number | DT-5051 | | Model Number | DT-5051 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | communication, data transfer, scale | | UPC | 600649505050 714131648207 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 365 days from purchase date | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Color:** Blue - **Connector Type:** Db9, Usb Type-a - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 9.5 x 6 x 2.2 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** communication, data transfer, scale ## Images ![USB to Serial Adapter Cable 16 ft DB9 Male RS232 to USB Cord with FTDI Chip Supports Windows 11 10 8 7 Mac Linux (5m) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Pi5ksQHaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this adapter compatible with ubuntu 18.04 LTS (4.15) linux?** A: This USB serial cable is with FTDI chipset (FT232), and all FTDI devices now supported in Ubuntu 11.10, kernel 3.0.0-19. **Q: Does Win10 use built-in drivers for this or do drivers come with it?** A: This item comes with CD driver (supports windows 10).
