FTDI - Cable, USB / RS485 Converter, Wire-End, 5m

FTDI - Cable, USB / RS485 Converter, Wire-End, 5m Description

The USB-RS485-WE-5000-BT is an USB to RS485 levels serial UART converter cable with 5m cable length and 0V power supply output. It incorporates FT232RQ USB to serial UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with a RS485 interface to USB. It also contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FT232R, which is encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable. The integrated electronics also include the RS485 transceiver plus Tx and Rx LEDs which give a visual indication of traffic on the cable. The other end of the cable is bare, tinned wire ended connections by default. The cable is USB powered and USB 2.0 full speed compatible and cable supports the FTDIChip-ID, with a unique USB serial number programmed into the FT232R. This cable require USB drivers, which are used to make the FT232R in the cable appear as a virtual COM port (VCP).
