The StarTech 1 Port Professional USB to Serial Adapter Cable with COM Retention (30.4cm) is a cable that converts a USB 2.0 port into an RS232 serial port allowing you to connect to, monitor, and control your serial devices. A durable, single cable design makes this a great solution for mobile technicians/administrators that require serial connectivity. Once connected, the USB to serial adapter retains assigned serial COM port values, allowing the same values to automatically be re-assigned to the port provided by the adapter in the event it is disconnected, then re-connected to the host computer.
This innovative adapter offers a professional grade solution for connecting legacy or industrial RS232 serial devices to more modern computers, or computers with unused USB ports. It is great for connecting serial modems, barcode scanners, or any device with serial sync through USB, eliminating the expense of upgrading the serial peripheral for USB compatibility.
