The DIGITUS® USB2.0 serial adapter offers a practical solution for providing serial connectivity. A serial RS232 interface is no longer available on newer hardware. The DIGITUS® USB2.0 serial adapter enables data exchange between a USB2.0 port on the computer and peripheral devices with a serial interface (COM port, RS232), such as weather stations, sensors, machine controls, set-top boxes, games consoles, PDAs, scanners, modems, ISDN adapters and many other peripheral devices. The USB2.0 serial adapter is downwards compatible with USB1.1 and enables customizable baud rates between 75 bits and 128,000 bits per second. The individually configurable FTDI chipset ensures compatibility with all common operating systems and also supports power management and remote wake-up. Power is supplied via the USB port; a separate power supply unit is not required.
