It is suitable for most applications, including industrial, commercial and any general office computer device.

This particular USB to RS485 converter is designed with a high performance quality processor chip and conversion circuitry which makes it one of the most reliable adapters on the market. It easily lets you connect any RS485 or RS422 device directly to your computer's USB port, without experiencing any troubles like computer freeze, IO problems or any other driver problems.

This USB to RS485 converter / USB to RS422 converter is powered from the computer's USB port so no additional external power source is needed. The RS485 / RS422 end is a standard 9-pin D-sub connector with an optional screw terminal board included for easy connection of cables or single wires.

After installing the included drivers and connecting the converter to your computer's USB port, it will show up as a virtual serial COM port in Windows Device Manager where you can manage and configure it like if it was a standard built-in serial COM port.

It is build around the high-end quality chip FT232BL from FTDI Semiconductors which is one of the best and most reliable USB to RS485 / RS422 converter processors on the market, with a SP485E RS485 / RS422 transceiver from Exar Corporation.

The Pro grade USB to RS485 Converter.

Make no mistake here, this is the true and original Pro grade Xetatronix USB to RS485 converter. Some companies are advertising similar looking USB to RS485 converter cables which looks almost the same and even have same or similar part number however the electronics inside the original converter makes the whole difference.

The original Xetatronix USB to RS485 converter is designed around an industry proven high-performance and highly reliable processor chip and conversion circuitry. This is also the reason why the Xetatronix USB to RS485 converter is priced higher than many other USB to RS485 converter cables even these other cables looks the same on the outside.
Another feature worth mentioning regarding this converter is that it has LED indication lights for the TX, RX and Power lines. This will help you troubleshoot and determine if data is actually transferred or received by your serial device.
