Description

This USB 2.0 to RJ45 RS-485 Serial Converter Cable features the industry-leading FTDI FT232RL chipset, providing a reliable bridge between modern USB ports and legacy RS-485 industrial networks. This cable terminates in an RJ45 (8P8C) connector, making it the perfect choice for building automation, security systems, and networking equipment that use RJ45-based console or field-bus interfaces.

Engineered for harsh environments, it supports data rates up to 3M baud​ and installs instantly as a Virtual COM Port (VCP) on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Available in both straight and right-angle (90°) options, this versatile converter is ideal for connecting PLCs, HMIs, barcode scanners, POS systems, access control panels, and industrial meters.

⚠️ Note:​ RS-485 pinout definitions varies (commonly Pins 1/2 or 4/5 for A/B). Please verify the wiring diagram for your target device before deployment.
