Cable Gender Changer DeLOCK 62501 USB 2.0 RS-422/485 Black Green

The Delock 62501 USB to serial converter adapts a USB 2.0 port to RS-422/RS-485 serial interfaces, enabling connection of serial devices to a computer via USB. The adapter provides galvanic isolation between the host PC and the serial device to reduce interference in audio applications and to prevent inaccurate measurements in laboratory environments. The compact gender changer is finished in black and green and supports USB 2.0 Low- and Full-Speed operation.

Advantages

The adapter separates the electrical connection between the host and the serial device through galvanic isolation, reducing electrical noise and protecting against ground loops. It supports USB 2.0 Low- and Full-Speed, offers compatibility with RS-422 and RS-485 serial standards, and comes in a compact, robust housing in black and green for industrial or laboratory use.

Suitable for

• Connecting RS-422 devices to a computer USB port
• Connecting RS-485 devices to a computer USB port
• Industrial automation interfaces and legacy serial equipment
• Laboratory instruments where isolation reduces measurement interference

How to use

Connect the USB 2.0 plug of the gender changer to an available USB port on the host PC. Attach the RS-422 or RS-485 serial cable from the device to the serial connector on the adapter. Ensure correct wiring for RS-422 or RS-485 according to the device documentation. Install any required drivers on the host system if the operating system does not automatically recognize the adapter.

Recommendations

Use shielded serial cabling and proper termination for RS-422/RS-485 lines in industrial environments. Verify signal levels and grounding practices; although the adapter provides galvanic isolation, correct wiring and termination improve communication reliability.
