## Summary description

The StarTech.com 1ft USB to Serial Adapter Cable features a USB Type-A connector and DB9 RS232 interface. It includes FTDI IC for reliable communication and ESD protection, making it suitable for various devices. The cable length is 0.3 m, and it is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

## Long description

Add an RS232 serial port to a laptop or desktop using an available USB-A port with the StarTech.com 1ft USB to Serial Adapter Cable. This 30 cm cable provides a USB Type-A connection on one end and a DB-9 (male) RS-232 serial connector on the other, and includes an FTDI IC for reliable USB-to-serial conversion and stable communication across supported systems.
Advantages
The adapter supplies a compact, straight-through connection that expands a computer’s serial capabilities without internal installation. It features COM retention so the assigned COM port is restored after reconnects or reboots. Built from rugged TPE with gold-plated connectors and copper shielding, the cable includes Level-4 ESD protection (15 kV air, 8 kV contact) to reduce damage from electrostatic events. Integrated LEDs show data transmit/receive activity and USB enumeration for easier diagnostics.
Suitable for
 Connecting legacy RS-232 devices (modems, industrial controllers, measurement instruments) to a USB-A port
 Field service and diagnostics where quick USB-to-serial access is required
 Desktop or laptop systems that lack a built-in serial port

How to use

If needed, install the included slotted D-Sub thumbscrews or use the pre-installed removable DB-9 nuts to secure the connection. On supported operating systems the driver installs automatically; on others download the FTDI driver from the manufacturer or StarTech.com. Verify LED indicators: the USB LED confirms device enumeration and the TX/RX LEDs indicate data transmission and reception.
Usage recommendations
For reliable serial communication, avoid routing the cable near strong EMI sources and ensure thumbscrews or DB-9 nuts are tightened to prevent intermittent connections. Use the FTDI driver supplied by the vendor for best compatibility and enable COM retention where available for stable port assignment during reconnections.
