LINDY 42844 USB to Serial RS-422 Converter USB-A to DB9 Male FTDI Chipset up to 3 Mbaud Full Duplex 1 m Cable Grey
LINDY 42844 — USB to Serial RS-422 Converter
The LINDY 42844 connects RS-422 serial equipment to a computer with a USB-A port. It is used where industrial controllers, PLCs, measuring instruments, CCTV pan-tilt-zoom controllers, barcode systems or building-automation devices still talk over a differential RS-422 serial line, but the PC or laptop no longer has a serial port. The converter appears to the computer as a virtual COM port through the widely supported FTDI driver, so existing serial software keeps working. RS-422 uses balanced transmit and receive pairs, which carries data over much longer distances and with better noise immunity than RS-232. It runs at up to 3 Mbaud in full duplex, is powered from the USB port and has a 1 m cable with a DB9 male connector at the device end.
