USB to RS232 Serial Converter Cable Exsys EX-1301-2 (model 15.06.0022)

Exsys EX-1301-2 USB to RS232 Serial Converter Cable is a compact adapter cable that links devices with a DB9 serial interface to a modern USB port. Supplied under model 15.06.0022, this cable enables data exchange and serial communication between legacy equipment and current computers or laptops without a native COM port. It offers a plug-and-play connection for tasks such as configuration, diagnostics and simple data transfer with minimal setup required.

Advantages

The USB to RS232 converter cable provides a reliable physical connection between USB hosts and RS232 devices without requiring a separate serial card. Its integrated cable design reduces the need for extra adapters or bulky dongles and simplifies installation. Compatible with a wide range of serial devices, the converter supports standard RS232 signal levels and offers a straightforward solution for restoring serial connectivity on modern systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting POS terminals and receipt printers to PCs and laptops
• Interfacing industrial controllers and PLCs with diagnostic software
• Linking measurement instruments and laboratory devices to data-logging applications
• Maintaining or accessing legacy computers, modems and serial peripherals

Key specifications

• Interface: USB (host) to RS232 (DB9) serial connection
• Signal compatibility: standard RS232 signal levels (TX, RX, RTS, CTS, GND)
• Connector: 9-pin male DB9 on serial end, standard USB Type-A on host end
• Function: data exchange and serial communications for legacy devices
• Design: integrated cable with fixed length for direct connection

How to use

Connect the DB9 serial connector of the converter cable to the RS232 port of the target device and plug the USB Type-A connector into an available USB port on a computer. If the operating system does not automatically install the required driver, download and install the appropriate driver for the converter chipset from the manufacturer or use the driver package provided by the system administrator. After driver installation, configure the serial port parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control) in your terminal or application to match the connected device, then open the communication session to exchange data or run diagnostics.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify and match serial communication settings on both ends before starting a session. Keep cable length within recommended limits for RS232 signals to prevent data errors, and avoid routing the cable near high-power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. If frequent reconnections are required, inspect connectors for wear and ensure USB drivers remain up to date.
