USB-A to DB-9 serial adapter

The Tripp Lite USA-19HS connects a 9-pin RS-232 device such as a router, switch or barcode scanner to a USB Type-A port on a Windows or Mac computer. A detachable 3-foot cable is included and no external power supply is needed. It is suited for technicians and administrators who maintain legacy serial equipment.

Practical limits of the USB-A serial interface

Data rates reach up to 230 Kbps, which is sufficient for console management, configuration and basic telemetry tasks. The adapter is tested with Windows 2000 through 10 and Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.11, so newer operating systems may require separate driver verification. Cable length is fixed at 3 feet, restricting placement flexibility.

Replaces internal serial ports and older dongles

This unit upgrades systems that lack a native DB-9 port or that rely on unreliable converter cables. The jump is worth it when a dependable, driver-supported link is needed for network gear, industrial hardware or point-of-sale devices. It does not serve buyers who need multiple simultaneous serial connections or longer cable runs.

Questions about this item

Which version of the USA-19HS should I choose if I need a detachable cable?

The adapter ships with a detachable 3-foot USB cable, so the single model listed already includes that feature.

What does the 230 Kbps rating mean when the adapter is connected to a PC?

It is the maximum serial line speed the adapter can sustain, so legacy gear that talks at up to 230 Kbps will run at its full rated pace.

Does the USB-A connector limit the speed below the 230 Kbps serial rating?

The USB-A port provides more than enough bandwidth for the 230 Kbps serial link, so the adapter reaches its stated serial speed.
