a serial port to the computer, laptop, or tablet
PC via a hot
plug compatible USB connector. Through an existing
USB Port the usb serial adapter can be utilized
to work with your legacy serial connections. It's
great
for newer technologies with no serial port connections.

Set up and Install - Let FTDI logic work for you

Shown
here is a Compaq Presario 3000 series notebook which
does not include a serial port as part of its configuration.
The usb to serial adapter configuration dictated by
the FTDI logic chip allowed
Win XP to recognized and install the adapter without
the software. The set up as you see is
simple,
quick
and
easy
as
you
travel
for business or pleasure. The images below show the adapter connected
the the test camera via the usb to serial DB-9 connection.
The camera used was a Kodak DC200. |

USB
to Serial Adapter (RAT) TESTIMONIAL
This
adapter in both of it's lengths is extremely
easy to set up and install. Simple plug and play
recognition and hot plug compatibility make this usb
adapter a great data transfer tool for legacy devices.
So compact that it basically hides itself in the pocket
of your
laptop carrier or briefcase. Versatility between serial
devices being used such as modems, digital camera,
printers and more. Personally I used this to upload
some sample images to my laptop because it doesn't
have a serial port which is what I need if I'm going
to use
my camera,
especially while traveling. I'm no longer reaching
around my desktop to find the serial port, buy leaving
this plugged into the the USB port of the computer
I save myself both time and hassle with cable connections.
It's my opinion that either the 7 foot or the 12 inch model depending
on your use for it would be
a
great
item
to
have
on
hand
if for nothing else to give your existing equipment more versatility
and
easier
connections.
