1. Introduction
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in response to the proliferation of external peripheral
devices (scanner, digital camera, portable hard-disk drive, cell phone, PDA, MP3 player, etc.) that are increasingly
being connected to the latest generation of PCs. The USB behaves in a similar fashion to conventional bus ports
like Serial (COM) and PS/2. As it doesn’t require any IRQs, more devices can be attached to the system without
conflicts.
This USB to Serial converter provides an external plug-and-play connection for RS-232 enabled devices with PC or
any computerizing devices that support the USB specification. The converter comes with the standard connectors
of Serial DB-9 and USB Type A or B to fulfill your working requirements. With the link of USB to Serial cable,
communication starts interacting without any barriers.
For further convenience, this product is designed to work by using the power drawn from the Universal Serial Bus
and no external power is required. As it is an USB compliant device, features of plug and play, hot-swapping,
energy-saving suspend, and resume are provided.
Since the most computers have limited USB and COM ports, USB hubs can be employed to gain more USB ports
for numerous USB peripheral devices to be connected up with your PC at the time.
