## Long description

The StarTech USB-C to Serial Adapter Cable 2m COM Retention FTDI Chipset Type-C to Male DB9 RS232 with Status LEDs connects legacy serial equipment to modern computer hardware. Measuring 2 meters in length, this adapter cable links a USB Type-C port on a laptop or desktop to an RS-232 serial peripheral using a male DB9 connector. It integrates an FTDI chipset and COM retention technology to maintain stable communication and persistent port assignment across system reboots. Built with integrated status LEDs, copper shielding, and durable TPE housing, this cable provides reliable serial connectivity for professional, industrial, and administrative applications.
Advantages
This adapter cable features an integrated FTDI chipset that delivers wide compatibility across major operating systems including Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux, with automatic driver installation for straightforward deployment. COM retention functionality ensures that assigned port numbers remain consistent after system restarts or cable reconnections, preventing workflow disruptions. Built-in status LEDs for transmit, receive, and USB connection status allow technicians to monitor live port activity and diagnose communication issues quickly. Physical durability is enhanced by level 4 ESD protection, molded TPE housing, gold-plated connector pins, and copper shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference.
Suitable for
Connecting legacy RS-232 serial devices such as industrial machinery, scientific instruments, and barcode scanners to modern USB-C computers
Setting up administrative workstations, service benches, and automated kiosks requiring stable serial communication
IT troubleshooting and device configuration tasks in commercial and industrial environments
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not designed to connect non-serial peripherals or devices requiring parallel or network interfaces. It may also be unnecessary for users working exclusively with modern USB-peripherals that do not rely on legacy RS-232 communication standards.
