Description

Add two RS232 serial ports to a laptop or desktop, using an available USB-A port

Add RS-232 serial communication support to USB-A enabled Data Terminal Equipment (DTE - e.g., desktop or laptop), using this 2ft (61cm) straight through 2-Port USB to Serial Adapter Cable.

Serial Port Expansion

The Dual-Port USB Serial Adapter adds two RS-232 serial DB/DE-9 (male) connectors to a desktop or laptop via a single USB Type-A port. Secure the adapter to a serial device, using pre-installed and removable slotted DB-9 nuts or install the included DB-9 thumbscrews for compatibility with other serial peripheral devices or cables.

LED Indicators

Data transmission and reception LED indicators for each port on the adapter provide real-time monitoring of port activity. The USB LED indicates when the adapter has successfully enumerated on the desktop or laptop. All the LEDs aid with diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Seamless Connectivity

The adapter is compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. Drivers automatically install to Windows 7 and newer versions, macOS 10.15 and above, and Linux. The USB to RS-232 adapter features COM retention, which automatically reassigns the COM port value if the cable is disconnected and reconnected, or if the system is rebooted.

Built To Last

The rugged TPE construction and Level-4 ESD protection (15kV air and 8kV contact) enhance the reliability and longevity of the USB to Serial Adapter. Copper shielding minimizes Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI and RFI). Gold-plated connectors enhance signal conductivity. The included mounting bracket allows the hub of the serial adapter to be mounted to a desired surface.

The StarTech.com Advantage	Add an RS422/485 serial port to your system through USB; features COM port retention The ICUSB422 6ft Professional RS422/485 USB Serial Cable Adapter with COM Port Retention lets you connect RS422 or RS485 serial devices to your USB-enabled computer. The adapter features a 9-pin (DB9) male serial connector as well as dipswitch controls for easy port configuration, and requires minimal software. The serial adapter is USB-powered, eliminating the aggravation of requiring an external power adapter. With COM port retention, assigned port settings are saved, so you can disconnect and reconnect the adapter with virtually no configuration required on the host computer. The ICUSB422 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support. The StarTech.com Advantage	The Lindy Bi-directional Converter and Repeater allows the user to input digital audio through a Coaxial or optical port and output digital audio simultaneously through Coaxial and optical ports, for dual audio functionality, avoiding the need for two separate audio converters, and a high resolution listening experience of movies, games and music. Featuring Digital Coaxial and Toslink ports as both input and output connections, this converter is perfect for converting Coaxial signals to optical, great for connecting DVD players or legacy games consoles to home cinema receivers or soundbars, or when connecting Blu-Ray players and games consoles to some surround sound systems or amplifiers via Optical to Coaxial conversion. With support for a hi-res sampling frequency of up to 24 bit / 192kHz, music can be heard exactly how the artist and sound engineers intended, with greater detail and clarity, while Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel support also ensures movies are heard with dynamic multi-channel audio, for a true home cinema experience. The dual input functionality also doubles up as a repeater, great for extending digital audio signals over longer distances that can't be reached using only one digital coaxial or Toslink cable. The converters input selector switch, allowing the input signal to be easily changed provides simple control for both home users and professional installers, while the DAC's 'Plug and Play' functionality ensures minimum hassle connectivity within an audio ecosystem. The converters minimalist, compact design means it can also be hidden out of sight or integrated into current home cinema installations.
