USB 2.0 RS232 Converter ShiverPeaks 75605 – 1.5 m cable, USB-to-Serial adapter

ShiverPeaks USB 2.0 RS232 Converter 75605 is a USB-to-serial adapter with a 1.5 m cable that enables connection of RS232 serial devices to modern computers and equipment that only provide USB ports. The adapter supports USB 2.0 data rates and presents a standard DB9 serial connector for peripherals such as industrial controllers, POS terminals, networking gear, and legacy instruments. It is designed for device configuration, firmware updates, data logging, and serial communication where native RS232 ports are not available.

Advantages

The adapter offers plug-and-play connectivity with USB 2.0 bandwidth and a durable 1.5 m cable that provides flexible installation distance. The DB9 connector delivers the standard pinout needed by many serial peripherals and maintains reliable signal levels for RS232 communication. Its compact inline design minimizes desk clutter while preserving compatibility with a wide range of serial hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting industrial equipment and PLCs to modern PCs
• Configuring routers, switches and networked devices via serial console
• Linking point-of-sale (POS) hardware and receipt printers
• Accessing legacy instruments, measuring devices and sensors
• Data transfer, logging and firmware updates over serial link

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 2.0 (host) to RS232 (DB9) serial
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Connector on serial side: 9-pin male DB9
• Supported data rates: USB 2.0 speeds with standard RS232 signaling
• Power supply: USB bus-powered (no external adapter required)
• Compatibility: works with devices requiring RS232 voltage levels and standard serial control signals

How to use

Connect the USB-A plug of the converter to an available USB port on your computer and attach the DB9 connector to the RS232 device. If required by your operating system, install the appropriate driver to enable serial port functionality; many systems provide built-in support for common USB-to-serial chipsets. Once connected and recognized, open your terminal software or device configuration application, select the assigned COM port, and set the serial parameters (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control) to match the remote device.

Recommendations

Use a stable USB port on the host device and avoid hubs when reliable communication is critical. Match serial settings exactly to the connected device and secure the DB9 connection to prevent accidental disconnection. For industrial environments, route the cable away from high-voltage lines and strong electromagnetic sources to reduce interference.
