Features
Connects a Barcode Scanner or Other DTE Serial Device to Your Computer’s USB-A PortThis five-
foot serial RS232 to USB adapter cable turns your computer’s USB port into an RS232 serial port and
avoids the expense of upgrading your reliable serial devices. No external power source is needed. Just
connect the cable to your computer and insert the included CD into your computer’s CD drive in order to
launch the driver and assign the cable a COM port. It supports USB 2.0 specifications and data transfer
speeds up to 230 Kbps, which is almost twice as fast as a built-in serial port. It is backward compatible
with USB 1.1 devices.
COM Retention Feature for Convenient Reassigning of COM Values to PortsThe hot-swappable
RS232-port-to-USB adapter with built-in FTDI chipset offers COM retention. It automatically reassigns the
same COM port values to each port, so when the cable is disconnected or the system is rebooted, no
additional configuration is needed. The cable also supports remote wake-up and power management.
Double Shielding Protects Your Data from Destructive Line NoiseFoil and braid shielding helps fight
against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) that impedes your signal
and can distort or destroy data. The auto-sensing feature solves DCE/DTE conflicts without the need for
cross-wired serial cables or adapters.
3-Year WarrantyThe U209-005-COM is backed by a 3-year warranty, ensuring reliability and
performance.
