The StarTech 2 Port FTDI USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with COM Retention (1.8m) converts an available USB 1.1 or 2.0 port into 2 RS232 serial DB9 ports to connect, monitor and control your serial devices.
This compact adapter features COM retention, allowing the same COM port values to automatically be re-assigned to the port if the cable is disconnected and re-connected to the host computer, or if the system is rebooted. Unlike most USB-serial adapters, this one uses the FTDI chipset, which supports additional customization, advanced features, and compatibility not necessarily offered by other solutions.
This USB-serial adapter is compatible with a broad list of Operating Systems, including Windows®, Windows CE, Mac OS and Linux, making this product the perfect solution for integrating into mixed environments.

- Baud Rate up to 921.6 Kbps
