FT232RL USB to DSUB 15PIN MALE ADAPTER for RS232/RS485 SERIAL COMMUNICATION provides a convenient USB to serial bridge using the FT232RL chip. The cable is designed to connect a PC to devices with a DB15 RS232/RS485 interface, such as a peristaltic pump, over a 1.8 meter length with RS232 signaling. Key benefits Enables USB based PCs to communicate with RS232/RS485 serial devices without a native serial port. Uses the FT232RL USB to serial converter for reliable, widely supported operation. Long 1.8 meter cable offers flexible placement and easy routing in lab or workshop environments. DB15 male connector supports common RS232 interfaces in equipment like peristaltic pumps. Simple, direct connection with minimal setup for routine serial communication tasks. Key attributes Chipset: FT232RL (USB to serial converter) Interface: USB to DSUB 15pin male serial connection Signal: RS232 (as specified on the product, with RS232/RS485 serial communication capability implied) Cable length: 1.8 meters Application: Serial communication between PC and RS232/RS485 devices, notably peristaltic pumps Compatibility: Suitable for devices requiring a DB15 RS232 interface and PC USB connectivity Compatibility and usage notes Works with standard PC USB ports to provide a RS232/RS485 serial link to devices using a DB15 interface. Suitable for lab and industrial environments where a peristaltic pump or similar equipment is controlled or monitored via RS232 signaling. Use cases Peristaltic pump control: Connect the pump to a PC for software controlled dosing, speed adjustment, and monitoring through RS232 serial commands. Data logging with RS232 devices: Link laboratory instruments or sensors with a DB15 RS232 interface to a PC for reliable data capture over USB. Industrial equipment interfacing: Bridge legacy RS232 capable devices to modern PCs for monitoring, configuration, or automation tasks.
