CABLE, USB/RS232 CONV, WIRE-END, 5V 1.8M Part # FTDI USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT_5.0

Description

The USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT-0.0 is an USB to RS232 levels serial UART converter cable with 1.8m cable length and 0V power supply output. It incorporates FT232RQ USB to serial UART interface IC which handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cables provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with a RS232 level serial UART interface to USB. It contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FT232R, which is encapsulated into USB connector end of cable. The integrated electronics also include the RS232 level shifter 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 USB side of the cable is USB powered and USB 2.0 full speed compatible. The cable supports the FTDIChip-ID, with a unique USB serial number programmed into the FT232R. The USB to RS232 cables require USB drivers, which are used to make the FT232R in the cable appear as a virtual COM port (VCP).
