## Summary description

The StarTech.com 2ft USB to Serial Adapter Cable features 2 ports for USB-A to DB9 RS232 connectivity. It includes an FTDI chipset for reliable performance and level-4 ESD protection.

## Long description

The StarTech.com 2ft (61 cm) 2-Port USB-A to DB9 RS232 Adapter Cable adds two RS-232 serial ports to a desktop or laptop using a single USB-A connection. Designed for Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), the adapter provides reliable serial communication with an FTDI chipset, gold-plated connectors and a rugged TPE jacket for durability. The cable includes removable slotted DB-9 nuts and thumbscrews plus a mounting bracket to secure the adapter hub to a surface.
Advantages
This adapter provides two DB9 (male) RS-232 ports via one USB-A port, with LED indicators for TX/RX activity per port and a USB status LED for diagnostics. The FTDI chipset ensures stable operation and COM retention automatically reassigns the COM port after reconnection or reboot. Construction features Level-4 ESD protection (15kV air, 8kV contact), copper shielding to reduce EMI/RFI and gold-plated connectors to improve signal conductivity.
Suitable for
Connecting legacy serial devices (modems, industrial controllers, scanners) to modern laptops or desktops
Point-of-sale systems and serial peripherals requiring DB9 connections
Industrial automation, instrumentation and field service diagnostics
Key specifications
Cable length: 2 ft (61 cm)
Ports: 2 × DB9 (male) RS-232
Host interface: USB Type-A
Chipset: FTDI
ESD protection: Level-4 (15 kV air, 8 kV contact)

Features: COM port retention, TX/RX and USB LEDs, gold-plated connectors, copper shielding, mounting bracket
How to use
Plug the USB-A connector into an available USB port on your desktop or laptop. Attach DB9 serial cables or devices to the two DB9 male connectors and secure them using the supplied thumbscrews or the removable slotted DB-9 nuts. If required, mount the adapter hub to a surface using the included bracket. On supported operating systems the driver will install automatically; verify device recognition and COM assignment in the system device manager or equivalent tool.
Usage recommendations
Use close to the host device to minimise cable stress and keep the cable routed away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference. For reliable serial communication, confirm baud rate and serial settings (parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control) match the connected device. If the adapter is moved between hosts, check COM port assignments after reconnection.
