## Long description

Exsys EX-2346IS is a USB 2.0 Type-C to Serial RS-422/485 cable that integrates an FTDI USB-to-serial chipset and internal surge protection. It allows connection of industrial equipment, PLCs, modems and measurement instruments to modern USB-C hosts for reliable data transfer and control, simplifying integration of legacy RS-422/485 devices.
Advantages
The cable uses an FTDI chipset for stable USB-to-serial conversion and supports both RS-422 and RS-485 signaling. Built-in surge protection reduces the risk of damage from transients on serial lines. The USB Type-C plug provides a compact, reversible host connection while the cable form factor enables direct connection without external adapters.
