1 Port FTDI USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with Optical Isolation
StarTech ID: ICUSB2321FIS
The ICUSB2321FIS 1-Port FTDI USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with Optical Isolation converts an
available USB 1.1 or 2.0 port into an RS232 DB9 port that can be used to connect, monitor and control your
serial devices.

critical, sensitive control equipment against electrical damage, making it a viable solution for costly industrial
serial devices.
