DTECH DT-5011 USB to RS232 Adapter

The DTECH DT-5011 is a USB 2.0 to RS232 DB9 serial adapter built around an FT232 chipset. It targets technicians and engineers who need to connect legacy 9-pin serial equipment such as PLCs, programming machines or barcode scanners to modern computers that lack native COM ports. The four-foot cable adds convenient reach for bench or rack work.

Plug-and-play fit for mixed-OS environments

The adapter presents a standard USB Type-A male connector on one end and a DB9 male connector on the other, requiring no external power. Driver support spans Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Mac OS 8.6 or higher and Linux 2.4.0 or later, so a single cable can move between different workstations without configuration changes. Gold-plated contacts and a moulded strain relief protect the signal path in daily use.

Steady throughput at up to 921600 bps

The FT232 chipset maintains reliable data rates from 70 bps to 921600 bps during extended sessions, avoiding the drop-outs common with lower-grade bridges. An integrated LED indicator lets you verify link activity at a glance, which is valuable when troubleshooting long-running industrial processes or firmware uploads that last minutes rather than seconds.

Questions about this item

Will the FT232 chipset sustain the full 921600 bps rate during long transfers?

The FT232 chipset is rated for baud rates from 70 bps to 921600 bps, so the adapter supports the top speed continuously.

Does the adapter get hot or draw extra power when left plugged in all day?

It draws power from the USB 2.0 port and runs cool; the built-in LED lets you confirm the link is active without extra heat.

What must my computer already have for this cable to work?

A free USB Type-A port and an OS of Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Mac OS 8.6 or higher, or Linux 2.4.0 and later.
