DeLOCK Adapter Cable USB 2.0 Type-A to Serial RS-485 0.5 m

The DeLOCK Adapter Cable USB 2.0 Type-A to Serial RS-485 0.5 m enables data transmission between a USB 2.0 host and devices with an RS-485 interface. The cable measures 0.5 m, is black, and provides three tinned open wire ends for direct connection to RS-485 device ports.

Advantages

This adapter cable provides a simple USB Type-A to RS-485 connection without additional converters. Tinned open wire ends allow flexible wiring and secure solder or screw terminal connections. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter while maintaining reliable data transmission for USB 2.0 speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or USB host to RS-485 industrial devices
• Automation systems and PLC interfaces
• Field devices requiring direct wire termination

How to use

Connect the USB Type-A plug to the host computer or USB hub. Terminate the tinned open wire ends to the RS-485 device according to the device’s wiring diagram, observing A/B (or +/−) polarity and ground connections. Secure the wiring with soldering or appropriate terminal screws and verify device communication via the host’s serial or driver software.

Recommendations

For stable RS-485 communication, use correct differential pair wiring and avoid routing the cable alongside high-power lines. Verify the required RS-485 polarity and, if needed, add termination resistor or biasing on the RS-485 bus according to the network topology.
