Features

Double Shielding Protects Your Data from Destructive Line Noise

Foil and braid shielding helps fight against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) that impedes your signal and can distort or destroy data. The auto-sensing feature solves DCE/DTE conflicts without the need for cross-wired serial cables or adapters.

Compatible with Almost All Computers

The U209-30N-IND works with Windows, Mac and Linux computers with an available USB-A port.

COM Retention Feature for Convenient Reassigning of COM Values to Ports

This hot-swappable cable with built-in FTDI chipset offers COM retention. It automatically reassigns the same COM port values to each port, so when the cable is disconnected or the system is rebooted, no additional configuration is needed. It also supports RS-485 auto-transceiver turn around with unique featured ATTA hardware, as well as remote wake-up and power management. A DB9-to-terminal-block adapter is included for making hardwire connections.

Data Transfer Speeds Double Those of a Built-In Serial Port

The U209-30N-IND supports USB 2.0 specifications and data transfer speeds up to 230 Kbps, which is almost twice as fast as a built-in serial port. It is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices.
