SKU CH-59ZW-QFE25

Connects USB 2.0 to 940 nm infrared for DLMS IEC62056 reading and transmission

  • FTDI FT232 chipset enables reliable USB 2.0 connectivity
  • Near infrared 940 nm wavelength supports IrDA communication
  • Industrial-grade build suits demanding reading and transmission tasks
  • Compatible with DLMS IEC 62056 protocol for meter data exchange

FTDI FT232 USB 2.0 Near Infrared Adapter

This industrial-grade converter uses the FTDI FT232 chip to bridge USB 2.0 with a 940 nm IrDA interface. It is built for engineers and technicians who need to read or transmit data over infrared links compliant with DLMS IEC 62056.

Practical limits of the USB 2.0 IrDA interface

The adapter operates at USB 2.0 speeds and the 940 nm wavelength defines the optical window. Range and reliable throughput depend on line-of-sight alignment and ambient infrared noise, which the standard does not guarantee beyond close proximity.
