Supports over 1Mbps data transfer rate Original Packing Included 1 x USB 2.0 to DB9 RS232 Converter Cable (16ft) 1 x CD software driver Review: Nice. Easy to use and install with Win 7/8/10 - Nice. This usb cable will come with FTDI chip which seems to have a better support rather than the Prolific chip (VCP/D2XX). USB device is fully compatible with Windows 7-x86-x64 (note that WHQL driver here is not the latest). You will have to download and install the latest driver form FTDI VCP driver home page. Drivers for Windows 10 (Windows WHQL 10x86-64 driver) is FTDI latest release when installed by OS automatically. USB VCP driver works pretty well by configuring a COM port. Build Quality of this device is good. Review: Works with NCE Power Pro - The cable works with my club's NCE Power Pro and it's ancient serial port connection to run WiThrottle. It even has blinking LEDs which are both useful for troubleshooting and sort of entertaining when you roll the throttle wheel on a UWT and see the deluge of serial commands coming from JMRI. I used FTDI drivers and had no issues with the serial cable on a M1 Mac. JMRI was a nightmare to get up and running on this machine, but that's another story. ## Features - (It's not USB to VGA monitor cable ) Male serial to USB cable (DB9 9 pin to USB A male) with LED light allows your PC to connect RS-232 serial devices and programs that communicate through COM ports - RS232 USB to serial adapter with FTDI chip is designed for connecting serial devices such as DB9 equipped PC, router, GPS, Programming machine, barcode scanner, label writer, serial modem, digital camera, card reader, palm PC and digital organizer, etc - USB to RS232 cord for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Mac OS 8 or higher, Linux 2.4.0 and later (9 wire pinout 1-9: DCD, RXD, TXD, DTR, GND, DSR, RTS, CTS, RI) - FTDI USB to serial cable adapter is built with a high performance quality processor chip (FT232 Chipset), which makes it one of the most reliable com port to usb adapter on the market - 16ft long extension DB-9 serial port to USB converter is long enough to provide more placement choices for your RS232C devices to reach to a place needed ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01J1HWLMM | | Best Sellers Rank | #106 in Serial Adapters | | Brand | DTECH | | Color | Transparent Blue | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Desktop computer, Microcontroller, Router, Modem, PDA, Router, Radio, GPS, Laptop, Printer, vinyl cutter Compatible Devices Desktop, Desktop computer, Microcontroller, Router, Modem, PDA, Router, Radio, GPS, Laptop, Printer, vinyl cutter See more | | Connector Type | Db9, Usb Type-a | | Current Rating | 150 Milliamps | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 167 Reviews | | Finish | Matte | | Input Voltage | 5 Volts | | Item Dimensions | 9.5 x 6 x 2.2 inches | | Item Type Name | RS232 cable | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 9.5 x 6 x 2.2 inches | | Manufacturer | Guangzhou DTECH Electronics Technology Co.,Ltd | | Mfr Part Number | DT-5051 | | Model Number | DT-5051 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | communication, data transfer, scale | | UPC | 600649505050 714131648207 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 365 days from purchase date | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop computer, Laptop, Microcontroller, Router, Modem, Printer, PDA, Router, Radio, GPS - **Specific Uses For Product:** communication, data transfer, scale - **Connector Type:** Db9, Usb Type-a - **Color:** Blue, Transparent Blue - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 5.91 x 5.12 x 0.79 inches ## Images ![USB to Serial Adapter Cable 16 ft DB9 Male RS232 to USB Cord with FTDI Chip Supports Windows 11 10 8 7 Mac Linux (5m) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Pi5ksQHaL.jpg) ![USB to Serial Adapter Cable 16 ft DB9 Male RS232 to USB Cord with FTDI Chip Supports Windows 11 10 8 7 Mac Linux (5m) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AxFzCjO5L.jpg) ![USB to Serial Adapter Cable 16 ft DB9 Male RS232 to USB Cord with FTDI Chip Supports Windows 11 10 8 7 Mac Linux (5m) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KKQg81EbL.jpg) ![USB to Serial Adapter Cable 16 ft DB9 Male RS232 to USB Cord with FTDI Chip Supports Windows 11 10 8 7 Mac Linux (5m) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61j3irIZTHL.jpg) ![USB to Serial Adapter Cable 16 ft DB9 Male RS232 to USB Cord with FTDI Chip Supports Windows 11 10 8 7 Mac Linux (5m) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cGzCIxw2L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this adapter compatible with ubuntu 18.04 LTS (4.15) linux?** A: This USB serial cable is with FTDI chipset (FT232), and all FTDI devices now supported in Ubuntu 11.10, kernel 3.0.0-19. **Q: Does Win10 use built-in drivers for this or do drivers come with it?** A: This item comes with CD driver (supports windows 10).

I had to google and search through answers that a driver has to be installed for windows 11. Not it’s working well. ## Frequently Bought Together - DTech USB to Serial Adapter Cable 16 ft DB9 Male RS232 to USB Cord with FTDI Chip Supports Windows 11 10 8 7 Mac Linux (5m) - DB9 null modem male to female slimline data transfer serial port adapter 2 Pack - DTech USB to Serial Adapter 10 ft USB to RS232 DB9 Female Cable COM Port with FTDI Chipset Supports Windows 11 10 8 7 Mac Linux --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/37766112-usb-to-serial-adapter-cable-16-ft-db9-male-rs232](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/37766112-usb-to-serial-adapter-cable-16-ft-db9-male-rs232) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
