This FT232RL USB to DSUB 15pin DB15 female adapter provides an RS485 serial communication interface via USB. Built around the FT232RL chipset, it converts USB signals to RS485 differential signals and terminates in a DB15 female connector. The assembly features a 1.8 meter long black cable for flexible device placement. Key benefits Enables USB to RS485 communication with devices that use a DB15 RS485 interface Flexible placement with a 1.8 meter long cable Reliable signal conversion based on the FT232RL chipset Compact, DB15 female interface suitable for standard RS485 connections Simple integration for equipment that requires a USB to RS485 serial link Key attributes Functionality: USB to RS485 serial adapter using the FT232RL chipset Interface: USB to RS485 Connector: DSub 15pin DB15 female Cable length: 1.8 meters Color: Black Applications: RS485 serial communication Applications and use cases Industrial and factory environments: Connect a PC or controller to RS485 devices such as PLCs, meters, or other industrial sensors for monitoring, control, or data logging. Development and prototyping: Use in engineering labs to prototype and debug RS485 networks with microcontrollers and custom hardware. Maintenance and diagnostics: Serve as a reliable interface for connecting legacy RS485 equipment to a computer for testing, diagnostics, or parameter recovery.
