This serial adapter eliminates the need to upgrade serial devices for compatibility. It features COM port retention, where assigned port settings are stored in non-volatile memory. This ensures that the RS-232 adapter automatically restores the same settings when reconnected or switched to a different USB port, providing a seamless user experience. Need To Know About USB232A-B-A Before Purchase Not a VGA Connector Please confirm your device uses a serial RS-232 port, not a VGA display connector. RS-232 uses a 9-pin (2-row) layout for serial communication. One-Way Communication Designed for USB to Serial only: USB end must be plugged into the computer, and the DB9 end connects to your serial device, cannot reverse data flow. Not a Null Modem Cable This adapter uses a straight-through DB9 pin configuration, suitable for connecting DTE to DCE devices. It does not function as a null modem. Pin Compatibility Warning Not all DB9 devices are standard, some DB9 have different wiring. Please verify your device’s RS-232 specs to ensure pin compatibility. Compatibility Notice – Know Before You Connect 1. Updated Chipset VID/PID (Since 2025) This adapter uses the PL2303-GC chipset with updated USB identifiers VID: 067B | PID: 23A3 2. Not for Serial Mice or Keyboards This adapter does not support legacy serial mice or keyboards, which require special timing and voltage behaviors not compatible with modern USB-to-Serial converters. 3. Some Devices Use Proprietary Serial Protocols Not all serial devices communicate using standard RS-232 commands. For instance, the Rotel RA-6000 requires custom control strings like: power_on!
