ShiverPeaks 75602 is a USB‑Serial adapter that provides an RS232 interface via a USB 2.0 connection. The adapter converts USB signals to RS232 levels, enabling communication between modern computers and legacy serial devices. An integrated LED indicator reports connection and activity status, helping to identify link presence and data transfer at a glance. The adapter is compact and intended for use in environments where reliable serial communication is required for configuration, diagnostics or data exchange.
Advantages
The adapter supports USB 2.0 transfer rates and implements standard RS232 signaling, allowing straightforward integration with existing serial equipment. Its LED indicator offers visual feedback for connection and activity, reducing troubleshooting time. Plug-and-play driver support on common operating systems simplifies setup, while the small form factor makes it easy to carry and install in tight spaces. The device is suitable for continuous operation in desktop, lab and industrial settings where RS232 connectivity is still needed.
Suitable for
- Connecting legacy RS232 devices such as modems, measurement instruments and POS terminals to USB hosts
- Device configuration and firmware updates over serial console
- Serial diagnostics, logging and data capture from industrial controllers
- Field service, testing and development environments requiring RS232 access
Key specifications
- Interface: USB 2.0 host side to RS232 device side
- Signal support: standard RS232 voltage levels and control lines
- LED indicator: connection and activity status
- Form factor: compact inline adapter suitable for desktop and portable use
- Power: powered from USB bus (no external power required)
How to use
Connect the USB end of the adapter to an available USB port on the host computer and attach the RS232 connector to the serial device. Confirm that the operating system recognizes the adapter and install any required drivers if prompted. Use the appropriate serial communication settings in your terminal software or device configuration tool (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control) to match the connected device. The LED indicates when a physical connection is present and flashes during data transfer.
Usage recommendations
For reliable communication, match serial parameters between host software and the RS232 device and avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources. Use short, quality serial cables when possible for stable signal levels. If communication problems occur, check drivers, LED activity and cable connections before adjusting device settings.
