This USB to RS485 adapter is based on the FT232RL chip and provides a straightforward USB to serial bridge for RS485 communication. It uses a DSUB 15pin female connector for RS485 signaling and ships with a 1.8 meter black cable, making it suitable for bench setups and lab environments where space and routing matter. The design is tailored for reliable, longterm operation in applications that require USB access to RS485 devices such as peristaltic pumps and other equipment. Key benefits Enables USB host to communicate with RS485 devices via a dedicated RS485 interface FT232RL chipset delivers a stable USB to serial conversion for RS485 signaling DSUB 15pin female connector supports devices expecting a 15pin RS485 interface 1.8 meter black cable provides flexible routing between a PC and connected equipment Simple, compact solution that integrates into existing USB and RS485 workflows Specifically suited for scenarios involving peristaltic pumps connected to a PC for control or monitoring Key attributes Functionality: USB to RS485 serial communication using the FT232RL chipset Compatibility: RS485 devices that use a DSUB 15pin interface Connector: DSUB 15pin female Cable length: 1.8 meters Cable color: Black Application: Serial communication between a USB host (PC) and RS485 equipment, including peristaltic pump to PC setups Use cases Peristaltic pump control: Connect a PC to a RS485 controlled peristaltic pump to issue commands and monitor status from software on the PC RS485 device data collection: Use the adapter to read data from RS485 sensors or instruments into a PC for logging or analysis Industrial and laboratory RS485 networks: Interface a USBequipped computer with RS485 devices in a networked setup for configuration, monitoring, and control Notes The adapter is designed around the FT232RL USB to serial bridge and uses a DB15 female RS485 connection, with a 1.8 m black cable length for flexible placement.
