Versatile Serial Connectivity

The MANHATTAN 205146 USB to Serial Data Adapter bridges a USB Type-A port and a 9-pin RS232 male connector. It uses the Prolific PL2303 chipset to deliver data rates up to 225 kbps over a 45 cm cable. The adapter works with USB 1.1 or 2.0 ports and supports Windows 2000 through Vista and 7.

Ideal for Legacy Peripheral Users

This converter suits technicians and hobbyists who need to attach serial modems, label writers, barcode scanners or older handheld organisers to a modern PC. Buyers whose equipment already uses USB, Ethernet or wireless interfaces will not need this adapter. It also does not address parallel-port or proprietary docking requirements.

Ready-to-Use Cable Design

The integrated 45 cm cable eliminates the need for a separate cord and keeps the RS232 connector close to the host port. No driver disc is included; the Prolific PL2303 chipset relies on drivers supplied by the operating system or available from the chipset vendor. The blister packaging protects the unit during storage.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my computer need for the MANHATTAN 205146 adapter?

The adapter requires a USB 1.1 or 2.0 Type A port on the host computer.

Can I use this 225 kbps converter with legacy RS232 equipment that runs at lower speeds?

Yes, the Prolific PL2303 chipset handles standard serial signalling so slower legacy devices will communicate normally.

How do I confirm the 45 cm cable is recognised by Windows after plugging it in?

Open Device Manager and look for a new COM port under Ports (COM & LPT) labelled Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port.
