FTDI 6 foot DB-9 USB to Serial Adapter for PC and Mac

Use your Laptop or Desktop computer to synchronize your PDA, Digital Camera, Cell Phone or other device currently using a serial port with this USB Serial Adapter. Connect your serial devices (RS-232) to the newer computer equipment that supports USB. This adapter adds a serial port to the computer, laptop, or tablet PC via a hot plug compatible USB connector. Through an existing USB Port the USB to serial adapter can be utilized to work with your legacy serial connections. It’s great for newer technologies with no serial port connections. Comes with software drivers and manual.

Serial ports on USB allow further use of existing devices, even when the computer doesn’t offer serial ports. The high speed serial port with the 128 byte FIFO allows for high speed communication, even in heavy loaded systems. Unique features reduce the system load. The serial port also allows unusual speed settings like 500.000bps.
