USB USB 2.0 to Serial RS485 6pin Converter with FTDI Chip
The USB-RS485-WE-1800-BT is a 1.8m long USB to RS485 converter cable.
Using the FT232R chip combined with an RS485 level converter, the cable is a CE and FCC approved product which is one of the simplest USB – RS485 solutions around.
Powered from the USB port, the RS485 signals are exposed on unterminated wires allowing the user to fit an appropriate connector matching their system needs.
The cable can be used with FTDI’s drivers to provide a virtual COM port on a PC which is capable of communication rates with RS485 units from 300 baud up to 3 MBaud. Data RX and TX LEDs visible through transparent moulding
