Product Description
Introduction
The USB to RS232 Serial Adapter with FTDI FT232RL chip is a reliable solution for connecting legacy serial devices to modern USB-enabled computers. Designed with the industry-leading FTDI chipset, it ensures exceptional compatibility, stable data transfer, and broad operating system support. With port retention functionality, the adapter maintains consistent COM port assignments across reboots or reconnections, making it ideal for applications that require stable communication channels. Compact and easy to use, this adapter is perfect for industrial automation, networking equipment, instrumentation, and other serial-based peripherals
