FT232R chipset provides single chip USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface. Works with all Windows and Mac OS versions Visual indication of Power and Tx/Rx data traffic via LEDs in the transparent USB connector Every cable is built to last for years with high quality industrial grade materials. The cable works with all Windows and Mac OS versions including the latest Windows 10 and Mac OS X 10.12(Sierra). The USB-RS485 cable is a USB to RS485 levels serial UART converter cable incorporating FTDI's FT232R USB to serial UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signaling and protocols. The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with an RS485 interface to USB. This cable has 6 outputs: GND(Black), Data-(Yellow), 5vPower(RED), Terminator1(Brown), Data+(Orange), Terminator 2(Green). In the cable, there is a 120R terminal resistor resistor connected in between Terminator 1 and Terminator 2.
Package: 1 x usb rs485 FTDI cable About FT232RL The FT232R is the latest device to be added to FTDI?s range of USB UART interface Integrated Circuit Devices. The FT232R is a USB to serial UART interface with optional clock generator output, and the new FTDIChip-ID? security dongle feature. In addition, asynchronous and synchronous bit bang interface modes are available. USB to serial designs using the FT232R have been further simplified by fully integrating the external EEPROM, clock circuit and USB resistors onto the device. The FT232R adds two new functions compared with its predecessors, effectively making it a "3-in-1" chip for some application areas. The internally generated clock (6MHz, 12MHz, 24MHz, and 48MHz) can be brought out of the device and used to drive a microcontroller or external logic. A unique number (the FTDIChip-ID?) is burnt into the device during manufacture and is readable over USB, thus forming the basis of a security dongle which can be used to protect customer application software from being copied. Single chip USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface. Entire USB protocol handled on the chip - No USB-specific firmware programming required. UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd / even / mark / space / no parity. Fully assisted hardware or X-On / X-Off software handshaking.

Drivers are available which allow FTDI devices to work with the following operating systems: Windows 8.1 Windows 8.1 x64 Windows 8 Windows 8 x64 Windows Server2012 Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows 7 Windows 7 x64 Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2008 x64 Windows Vista Windows Vista x64 Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2003 x64 Windows XP Windows XP x64 Windows ME Windows 98 Linux Mac OS X Mac OS 9 Mac OS 8 Windows CE.NET (Version 4.2 and greater) Android Windows RT Support for WinCE7.0 Initial functional testing conducted by FTDI has shown that the FTDI drivers function as expected on Windows CE 7.0 Support for older versions of Windows Desktop NOTE: Microsoft have ended support for certifying XP and VISTA through their WHCK test program. As such current builds will still work on XP and VISTA but are not Microsoft certified. Differences in Driver API For most of these operating systems two types of driver are available: Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers and direct (D2XX) drivers. The VCP driver emulates a standard PC serial port such that the USB device may be communicated with as a standard RS232 device. The D2XX driver allows direct access to a USB device via a DLL interface. To locate the drivers you want to install for a device, select which of the driver types you wish to use (VCP or D2XX) and then locate the appropriate operating systems. With the exception of Windows 98 and Windows ME, all devices are supported in each driver package. If a VCP driver is required for Android please refer to the following application note: TN 132 Adding FTDI Devices VCP Driver Support to Android
