About this product

After connecting the ICUSB2321F 1-Port USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with FTDI chipset and COM Retention, you'll be able to transform any available USB 1.1 or 2.0 port into an RS232 serial DB9 port. This enables you to connect, monitor, and control a wide range of serial devices with ease. This compact, high-quality adapter is designed with COM retention, a feature that automatically reassigns the same COM port value to the port if the cable is disconnected and reconnected to the host computer, or if the system is rebooted. This ensures a reliable, consistent connection, making it an ideal solution for various setups. The integrated FTDI USB UART Chip ensures a baud rate of up to 115.2Kbps, while the COM Port assignments are maintained across reboots. This durable adapter is powered by the USB port, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. Its single cable design enhances portability, making it a flexible choice for users on the go. Designed to simplify serial port expansion, this 6-foot cable allows you to connect to devices without having to be too close. The ICUSB2321F uses the FTDI chipset, which supports additional customization, advanced features, and compatibility not necessarily offered by other solutions. This reliable adapter is compatible with a broad list of Operating Systems, including Windows, Windows CE, Mac OS, and Linux, making it easy to integrate into mixed environments. It's perfect for IT Administrators looking to add legacy functionality to newer notebooks, PCs, and servers that lack an integrated RS232 port. Whether you need to connect, monitor, and control industrial or automotive sensors and equipment, connect bar code scanners, receipt printers, and other point of sale devices, or program LED and Digital signage boards with serial communication ports, this affordable adapter is the solution. It can even connect a satellite receiver, serial modem, or PDU, making it a versatile addition to your tech toolkit.

Plugable - USB Data Blocker for Juice Jacking, Universal Charge-Only Adapter - Black

Features The Plugable USB-MC1 adapter turns any USB data port into a charge-only port for dedicated, safe charging. The adapter blocks juice jacking attacks from hackers. The USB-MC1 is smaller than a pack of chewing gum and will easily fit in your pocket, or with your other travel accessories. Perfect for on-the-go charging at airports, coffee shops, libraries, and more. USB Charging Information Most devices can't/won't charge from normal powered USB hubs if the computer is turned off or not connected. That includes most Android, Apple iOS, and Windows devices. The phone/tablet must negotiate how much power to pull; according to the original USB specification, devices are supposed to only draw 100mA at first and then negotiate up to 500mA. The Plugable USB data blocker uses a safe, IC-free design by adding a series of resistors in between the data lines to allow for up to 1A charging. This allows for charging communication, but no possibility of data transmission. Other USB data blockers that advertise higher charging rates likely include unfamiliar integrated circuits or chips which can introduce other security concerns. The Plugable design makes no compromises with a dedicated security focus. Whether you need a juice jacking data blocker or a fast charger for your Android/iPhone, our USB-MC1 gives you the power to charge your device with confidence and security!
