Add a null-modem (DCE) RS232 DB9 serial port to a PC or Mac via USB, with an FTDI chipset.
USB to RS232Null Modem (DCE)FTDI FT232RLUp to 921.6 Kbps

The StarTech.com ICUSB232FTN, part number ICUSB232FTN, is a 1.8 m (6 ft) USB to RS232 serial adapter cable that adds a null-modem DB9 serial port to a laptop or desktop through USB. Its DCE (null-modem) wiring resolves DTE/DCE conflicts when connecting to devices that also present as DTE, and the reliable FTDI FT232RL chipset ensures broad driver support across Windows, macOS and Linux. It supports baud rates up to 921.6 Kbps with a 256-byte FIFO, is USB-powered with a single-cable design, and is TAA compliant. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.

Null-modem (DCE) — choose the right wiring
This is the null-modem (DCE) variant, designed to connect to serial devices that are wired as DTE and resolve DTE/DCE conflicts without a separate null-modem adapter. If your device expects a standard (DTE) serial port, choose a standard USB-to-serial adapter such as the StarTech ICUSB232V2 instead. It is USB-powered and works with Windows, macOS and Linux using FTDI drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and a normal USB-to-serial adapter?
The ICUSB232FTN is the null-modem (DCE) version. Its wiring is crossed to connect directly to DTE serial devices and resolve DTE/DCE conflicts. A standard USB-to-serial adapter (DTE) like the ICUSB232V2 is for devices expecting a normal serial port.
Which operating systems and speeds are supported?
It uses the well-supported FTDI FT232RL chipset with drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux, and supports baud rates up to 921.6 Kbps with a 256-byte FIFO.
Does it need external power?
No. It is USB-powered with a single-cable design — just plug it into a USB-A port. The DB9 end is a null-modem RS232 connector.
Singular Expert Insight
FTDI is the chipset serious serial users ask for, because the drivers just work across OSes and survive Windows updates. The thing that sets this model apart is the null-modem (DCE) wiring — it saves you carrying a separate null-modem adapter when talking to DTE equipment. If your target device expects a standard serial port, pick the DTE version (ICUSB232V2); otherwise this is the clean one-cable solution.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You need a USB serial port with null-modem (DCE) wiring and a reliable FTDI chipset to connect DTE serial devices.
Skip it if
Your device expects a standard (DTE) serial port — choose a normal USB-to-serial adapter such as the ICUSB232V2.
Also consider
The StarTech ICUSB232V2 (DTE) USB-to-serial adapter, or the PNL9M16 if your motherboard has an onboard serial header.
