Description
The Waveshare Industrial USB to RS232 Serial Adapter Cable is a robust, professional-grade solution designed to bridge modern USB ports with legacy RS232 serial devices. Powered by the original FT232RL chip, this adapter cable ensures exceptionally stable, high-speed data transmission and broad driver compatibility across multiple operating systems.
Built for demanding industrial environments, the cable features a thick, high-purity oxygen-free copper (OFC) core paired with multi-layer shielding to provide superior anti-interference performance against electromagnetic noise. With a convenient 1.5-meter length and a durable black PVC sheath, it is an ideal tool for connecting computers or industrial hosts to PLCs, CNC machines, barcode scanners, and other RS232 serial peripherals.
