USB to UART cable with RS232 level UART signals
The USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT_3.3 is a 1.8m long USB to RS232 converter cable.
Using the FT232R chip combined with an RS232 level converter, the cable is CE, FCC and UKCA approved product which is one of the simplest USB – RS232 solutions around.
Powered from the USB port, the RS232 signals are exposed on unterminated wires allowing the user to fit an appropriate connector matching their system needs.
The cable can be used with FTDI’s drivers to provide a virtual COM port on a PC which is capable of communication rates with RS232 units from 300 baud up to 1 MBaud.

Each USB-RS232 cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FT232R, which is encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable. The integrated electronics also include the RS232 level shifter plus Tx and Rx
LEDs which give a visual indication of traffic on the cable (if transparent USB connector specified). The other end of the cable is bare, tinned wire ended connections by default, but can be customised using different connectors to support various applications.
Cables are FCC, CE, RoHS compliant.
