TeKit USB to RS232 DB9 Adapter Cable 2m 6.6ft

SKU CH-VK32-MS1DW

Connects serial DB9 devices such as routers, GPS units and barcode scanners to a USB 2.0 port using a PL2303 chipset with driverless setup on Windows 8.1

  • Connect serial devices to any USB port with PL2303 chipset
  • Driverless setup on Windows 8.1 and 8 for instant COM port
  • Supports Windows 10 back to 2000 and Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.11
  • Programmable baud rate from 75 to 128000 bits per second
  • USB 2.0 powered cable needs no external supply at 2m length

Connect legacy serial gear

This USB to RS232 DB9 adapter cable lets any PC with a USB port talk to serial devices such as routers, GPS units, barcode scanners, label writers, serial modems, digital cameras, card readers and older PDAs. It creates a virtual COM port so existing software works without modification. The 2 m cable is powered entirely from the USB connection, so no external supply is required.

Thermals noise and power draw

The adapter draws its operating power from the host USB port and runs without a fan, so it adds no audible noise to the workspace. Power consumption stays within the standard USB 2.0 budget and the PL2303 chipset operates cool enough that no active cooling is needed during continuous use.

Programmable baud rate 75 to 128000 bps

The single specification that decides fit is the programmable baud range from 75 bits per second up to 128000 bits per second. If your serial equipment requires a rate outside this window the cable will not work. Buyers who need higher throughput or different electrical signalling should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PL2303-based adapter on Windows 10 and what step is often missed?

Connect the USB 2.0 plug, then download the latest driver from the Ugreen website before the COM port will appear; skipping the driver download is the common mistake.

What part of this cable will need replacement first with daily use?

The USB 2.0 connector and the thin cable jacket endure repeated bending, so the cable assembly itself is the item most likely to wear out.

At what baud rate does the PL2303 chipset hit its ceiling during sustained transfers?

The chipset tops out at 128000 bits per second, so continuous streams above that rate will be the first limit you encounter.
