Serial adapter cable Exsys EX-13003 USB to 1S RS-232/422/485/TTL, FTDI chipset, 1.0 m

Exsys EX-13003 is a 1.0 m USB-to-serial adapter cable that converts a modern USB port into a single serial interface supporting RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and TTL signal levels. Equipped with an FTDI chipset, the cable provides stable USB-to-serial conversion and wide driver compatibility for connecting legacy serial equipment, industrial controllers and embedded systems to contemporary computers and laptops.

Advantages

The integrated FTDI chipset ensures reliable data transfer, stable COM-port recognition and broad OS driver support. A single compact cable supports multiple serial standards (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and TTL), reducing the need for different adapters. The 1.0 m length balances reach and desktop tidiness, while the robust cable construction suits repeated connections in configuration and diagnostic workflows.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial controllers, PLCs and motor drives to modern PCs for configuration
• Linking legacy RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial devices to laptops for data transfers
• Interfacing embedded systems, microcontrollers or development boards using TTL serial
• Field diagnostics, firmware updates and serial console access for network and telecom equipment

Key specifications

• Supported signal levels: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, TTL
• Chipset: FTDI USB-to-serial
• Cable length: 1.0 m
• Interface to host: USB (Type-A or according to product connector)
• Single serial channel supporting multiple standards via wiring/configuration

How to use

Install the appropriate FTDI driver for your operating system if it is not already present. Connect the USB end of the cable to an available USB port on the host computer and attach the serial end to the target device according to the required signal level and pinout (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 or TTL). Verify the assigned COM port in the operating system and configure terminal software or the application with the correct baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits. For RS-485 networks, ensure correct termination and biasing if required by the installation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm the target device's serial voltage levels and pinout before connecting. Use the proper driver version for your OS and keep cable run lengths within recommended limits for the chosen serial standard. When working with RS-485 multi-drop networks, apply termination resistors and biasing as needed to prevent communication errors.
