## Long description

Add two RS-232 serial ports to a laptop or desktop using an available USB-A port with the StarTech.com 13ft 2-Port DB9 RS232 FTDI USB to Serial Adapter Cable. This 4 m straight-through cable provides two DB9 (male) RS-232 ports over a single USB Type-A connection and includes a mounting bracket and DB-9 nuts for secure installation.
Advantages
The adapter uses an FTDI chipset and offers COM retention for consistent port assignment after reconnects or reboots. Built with rugged TPE construction, gold-plated connectors and copper shielding, it reduces EMI/RFI and improves signal conductivity. Level-4 ESD protection (15 kV air, 8 kV contact) protects connected equipment, while status LEDs for each serial port and for USB provide real-time activity and troubleshooting information. Compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux, with automatic drivers for recent OS versions.
Suitable for
Connecting RS-232 instruments, modems or industrial controllers to modern laptops and desktops
Point-of-sale systems and legacy serial peripherals requiring DB9 connections
Field service, lab testing or equipment configuration where portable serial access is needed

How to use
Connect the USB Type-A plug to an available USB-A port on your laptop or desktop, then attach your RS-232 serial devices to the two DB9 male connectors. Secure the connection using the pre-installed slotted D-Sub thumbscrews or install the included DB-9 nuts for alternative mounting. If required by the operating system, allow the automatic driver installation; on some systems you may download drivers from the manufacturer. Monitor the TX/RX LEDs for each port and the USB LED to verify link and data activity. Use the included mounting bracket to fix the adapter hub to a surface if permanent installation is needed.
Usage recommendations
For reliable communication, avoid sharp bends near connector ends and keep the cable away from high-power or high-frequency sources to minimize EMI. When connecting critical equipment, verify COM assignment in your OS and enable COM retention if available to prevent reassignment after reconnection or reboot.
