USB TO RS-232 CONVERTER
Overview
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in response to the proliferation of external
peripheral devices (scanner, digital camera, portable hard-disk drive, cell phone, PDA, MP3 player, etc.)
that are increasingly being connected to the latest generation of PCs. The USB behaves in a similar
fashion to conventional bus ports like Serial (COM), Parallel and PS/2. As it doesn’t require any IRQs,
more devices can be attached to the system without conflicts.
This USB to Serial converter provides an external plug-and-play connection for RS-232-enableddevices with PC or any computerizing devices that support the USB specification. The converter comes
with the standard connectors of Serial DB-25 or DB-9 and USB Type A or B to fulfill your working
requirements. With the link of USB to Serial cable, communication starts interacting without any barriers.
For further convenience, this product is designed to work by using the power drawn from the
Universal Serial Bus and no external power is required. As it is an USB compliant device, features of
plug and play, hot-swapping, energy-saving suspend, and resume are provided.
Since the most computers have limited USB and COM ports, USB hubs can be employed to gain
more USB ports for numerous USB peripheral devices to be connected up with your PC at the time.
