USB to RS-232 serial converter with COM retention

Connects RS-232 serial equipment with a 9 way connector to a computer USB Type A port, and keeps its COM port settings.

This Lindy converter has a USB Type A male plug and an RS-232 9 way male connector on a 1.1m cable. COM Port Retention stores the COM port settings inside the converter, so once installed and configured it can be unplugged and reconnected to any available USB port on that computer without reconfiguring software. It uses the FT231XS chipset.

It is USB bus-powered, so no external power supply is needed, and it works with Windows, Mac and Linux. The pack holds the USB to Serial Converter. Quote Lindy code 42686 or our code DS42686. Lindy backs it with a 2 year warranty.
