Kabel-adapter LogiLink AU0034

The LogiLink AU0034 is a compact USB to RS232 adapter that enables operation of serial (COM/RS232) devices via a USB 2.0 port. It is suited for connecting legacy serial hardware — for example modems, ISDN adapters or other RS232 end devices — to modern notebooks and PCs that lack a built-in COM port. The adapter uses an FTDI FT232RL chipset and includes an 80 cm USB extension cable and protective caps.

Advantages

The adapter provides reliable data transfer using the FTDI FT232RL chipset and complies with the USB 2.0 standard. It features a USB A male connector and a 9‑pin RS232 male connector with thumbscrews for secure fixing. The package includes an extension cable and protection caps, and the device offers driver support for Windows 8.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy serial devices (modems, ISDN adapters) to modern computers
• Using RS232 peripherals with notebooks that lack a COM port
• Low‑speed serial communication and configuration tasks

Key specifications

• Chipset: FTDI FT232RL
• Connector 1: USB A (male)
• Connector 2: RS232 9‑pin (male)
• Interface: USB 2.0 compliant
• Includes: 80 cm USB extension cable and protection caps
• Fixing: thumbscrews
• OS support: includes Windows 8 support

How to use

Connect the USB A male end to an available USB 2.0 port on the computer and attach the RS232 9‑pin male connector to the serial device, securing it with the thumbscrews. If required, install the appropriate FTDI drivers for your operating system or allow the OS to install them automatically. Use the included 80 cm USB extension cable where extra reach is needed and keep the protection caps when the adapter is not connected.

Recommendations

For stable operation, use a direct USB 2.0 port on the host rather than an unpowered hub. Install the latest FTDI drivers from the chipset vendor when using operating systems other than Windows 8. Avoid exposing the RS232 connector to moisture and disconnect the adapter before changing device wiring.
