Description

This USB‑C to RS485 / RS422 serial converter cable provides a compact, field‑ready bridge between modern USB‑C hosts and differential serial networks. The cable integrates a high‑quality USB‑to‑serial converter (FTDI‑class VCP/D2XX compatible or equivalent), delivering a reliable virtual COM port on Windows, macOS and Linux. It supports RS485 2‑wire half‑duplex and RS422 4‑wire full‑duplex operation, with automatic direction control for hassle‑free half‑duplex use.

Rugged shielded construction and robust overmolding make it suitable for industrial, test and maintenance environments where stable differential links are required for PLCs, data loggers, motor drives, sensors and building automation interfaces. Available in standard 1.8 m length with options for custom pinouts, lengths, labeling and driver packaging to match OEM or maintenance workflows.
