## Long description

USB-A to Serial Converter Cable Manhattan 205146M (45 cm) provides a direct USB-A to Serial/RS232/COM/DB9 connection using the Prolific PL-2303RA chipset. The cable is designed to add a standard COM/RS-232 port to modern computers and laptops that lack built-in DB9 connectors, enabling communication with a wide range of serial devices. The product comes in a blister pack and has a grey finish.
Advantages
The Manhattan converter quickly converts a USB port to a Serial/RS232/COM/DB9 port and uses the Prolific PL-2303RA chipset for broad OS and platform compatibility. It supports installation as a standard COM/RS-232 port for legacy and modern devices, offers plug-and-play operation on Windows with hot-swappable capability, and includes gold-plated contacts and rugged construction for reliable connections. Chipset variations such as PL-2303HXD and FTDI FT232RL are also available. The cable is covered by a three-year warranty.
Suitable for
Connecting serial modems and DB9 peripherals to USB-A ports
Barcode scanners, label printers and card readers requiring RS232
GPS units, telescopes, CNC and embroidery machines with COM interfaces
Ham/Amateur radios, automotive controllers and PDUs
Legacy devices and equipment maintenance where a standard COM port is required

How to use
Plug the USB-A end into an available USB port on your computer and connect the DB9 end to the serial device. On Windows systems the converter typically installs as a standard COM port using the Prolific PL-2303RA driver—allowing existing serial applications to communicate through the newly created COM/RS232 interface. The cable supports hot-plugging; if the driver does not install automatically, download and install the appropriate Prolific driver for your operating system.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use a direct USB port on the host computer rather than an unpowered USB hub. Ensure you install the correct PL-2303RA driver version for your OS and verify COM port settings in device manager or your application to match baud rate and parity required by the connected serial device.
