Introduction

The PL-2303 USB to Serial adapter is your smart and convenient accessory for
connecting RS-232 serial devices to your USB-equipped Windows host computer. It
provides a bridge connection with a standard DB 9-pin male serial port connector in
one end and a standard Type-A USB plug connector on the other end. You simply
attach the serial device onto the serial port of the cable and plug the USB connector

device and therefore supports advanced power management such as suspend and
resume operat ions as well as remote wakeup. The PL-230 3 USB Serial cable adapte r
