USB to RS232/485 Serial Cable

This USB converter device provides a strong connection between USB ports and devices using RS232 or RS485 communication. It has flexible communication switching, letting you toggle between RS232 and RS485 with a simple switch. It includes power supply and signal indicators, making it easy to monitor its status while it's working. It supports both 3.3V and 5V levels, which makes it compatible with a wide range of devices. It has a built-in self-recovery fuse, ESD and IO protection diodes, and a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) to suppress surge and transient spike voltages. With a baud rate of up to 921,600bps, its data transfer is super quick! Features

* Uses the original FT232RNL chip, it provides high-speed communication that is stable, reliable and compatible

* TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppresses surge voltage and transient spike voltage in the circuit, anti-electrostatic

* Resettable fuse and ESD to prevent overcurrent, overvoltage, backflow and static electricity, enhancing shock resistance and ensuring stable and secure communication

* RS232/485 communication switching circuit, allows users to flexibly switch communication types by toggling the switch

* RS485 output terminal with a 120R resistor, which can be enabled by a toggle switch for flexible switching

* 3 LED indicators for easy monitoring of power and signal transmission status

* ABS environmental-friendly case, compact in size, portable and easy to use, cost-effective
