USB 2.0 to RS-232 DB9 Adapter with FTDI Chip

This adapter adds a standard DB9 serial port to any computer through a USB 2.0 connection. The industry-leading FTDI chipset provides full RS-232 modem control and data signals for reliable communication. It draws power directly from the USB port, so no external supply is needed. Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for long-term use in demanding environments.

Suits legacy gear, not modern high-speed links

Engineers maintaining cashier registers, CNC machines, PLC controllers, POS terminals, barcode scanners or label printers will find the driver support spans Windows 10 down to 2000, plus Mac OS X 10.6 and Linux kernel 2.4.31. Buyers who need a native USB device or a faster interface for new equipment should look elsewhere, as this converter only bridges to classic serial protocols.

FTDI chipset dictates broad OS compatibility

The built-in FTDI chip enables automatic driver installation on Windows 7 through 10 when online, while older Windows, Mac and BSD systems require a one-time manual download. This single component determines whether the adapter will work with your specific operating system and legacy application without extra configuration effort.

Questions about this item

How much power does the USB 2.0 to RS232 adapter draw when it runs all day?

The converter is powered entirely by the USB port, so no external adapter is needed and draw stays within standard USB 2.0 limits.

What operating system must the host computer run for the FTDI chipset to work without manual driver installation?

Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 will auto-detect and install the driver when an internet connection is present.

Will this DB9 converter talk to a legacy CNC controller that expects full RS-232 modem control lines?

Yes — the FTDI chipset implements TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DSR, DTR, DCD, RI and GND, matching the pin-out shown for industrial equipment.
