It supports connection of a wide range of devices including modems, barcode scanners, GPS units, CNC and embroidery machines, telescopes, automotive control systems and more. The product installs as a standard COM/RS-232 port, is Windows-compatible, plug-and-play and hot-swappable. Gold-plated contacts and rugged construction provide reliable, consistent performance. A three-year warranty is provided.

How to use

Connect the USB-A end to an available USB port on your computer and plug the DB9 connector into the serial device. Install drivers if required by your operating system; on many Windows systems the cable will be recognized automatically and appear as a COM port. After installation, configure the device software to use the assigned COM port and matching communication parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits).

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use a direct USB port on the computer rather than an unpowered USB hub; verify driver compatibility for your OS and select the PL-2303RA driver when needed. Keep cable length short to reduce signal degradation and ensure secure screw connections on the DB9 connector.
