FT232RL Chip USB to RS232 / RS485 DSUB 15 Pin Male Adapter Cable is a USB to serial interface built around the FT232RL chipset. It provides RS232 and RS485 communication through a DB15 male DSUB connector and is designed for use with DRVGIII drives and other equipment that use a 15pin RS232/RS485 interface. The cable measures 1.8 meters in length, offering flexible placement between a computer and a serial device. Key benefits Enables USB hosts to communicate with devices that use RS232 or RS485 via a DB15 male connector. Compact, dedicated USBtoserial solution based on the FT232RL chipset for reliable signal conversion. Dual protocol support (RS232 and RS485) in a single cable, reducing the need for multiple adapters. Long enough 1.8 meter length for convenient, flexible installation and testing setups. Targeted compatibility for DRVGIII drives and other equipment that use a 15pin RS232/RS485 interface.
