DIGITUS USB 2.0 naar serieel converter, DSUB 9M incl. USB A-kabel 80cm

The DIGITUS USB 2.0 Serial Adapter DA-70167 provides a RS232 serial interface via a USB 2.0 connection, allowing connection of serial peripheral devices to modern computers that lack native COM ports. The adapter uses a D-Sub connector and comes in black with an included 80 cm USB extension cable. It is powered through the USB port and does not require an external power supply.

Advantages

The adapter meets the USB 2.0 standard and is backward compatible with USB 1.1, offering adaptable baud rates from 75 to 128000 bits per second. It uses the PL2303GT chipset which supports individual configuration, common operating systems, power management and remote wake-up. The compact design and included cable simplify installation and connection of serial devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting modems and printers with RS232/D-Sub interfaces
• Linking sensors, weather stations and data loggers to a PC
• Integrating machine control systems and industrial equipment
• Using legacy peripherals such as PDAs, scanners and set-top boxes

How to use

Connect the adapter to a computer USB 2.0 port using the supplied USB cable, then attach the serial device to the D-Sub connector. Install the appropriate driver for the PL2303GT chipset if the operating system does not automatically detect and configure the device. After driver installation the adapter appears as a virtual COM port and can be used by standard serial communication software with the required baud rate and serial settings.

Recommendations

For stable communication, use quality shielded serial cables and select matching baud rate and parity settings on both the computer and the connected device. Keep drivers up to date and consult the device manufacturer’s documentation for specific serial parameters.
