Introduction
The SeaLINK® single-port USB to RS-232 serial adapter utilizes Sealevel’s
expertise in military-grade designs by incorporating a ruggedized, overmolded
enclosure into the 2105R. This improves the reliability and durability in industrial
and mobile applications such as GPS navigation systems, barcode readers, signature
input devices, serial printers, scales, and similar applications.
The 2105R features programmable baud rate and data formats with 128-byte
transmit and 384-byte receive buffers. The USB serial adapter is compatible with all
standard PC baud rates and supports high-speed communication to 921.6K bps. The
2105R is powered by the USB port and status LEDs molded into the enclosure
indicate serial data activity and connection to the host.
Sealevel SeaCOM USB software drivers and utilities make installation and
operation easy using Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP and Vista operating systems.
After installing the software, simply plug the 2105R into an available USB port and
the serial port is recognized as a standard COM port by the host system enabling
compatibility with legacy software.
The attached cable is 44 inches long and fully shielded to protect the 2105R from RF
and EMI interference that is common in mobile and industrial environments.
Standard operating temperature range is 0 - +70°C, and extended temperature range
(-40 - +85°C) is optional.

High-speed UART with 128-byte Tx FIFO and 384-byte Rx FIFO
