Review: Expensive but Good - Startech normally deliver very good products, this was very expensive for what it is but for my job so far its proved incredibly useful and helpful. Universally worked on all serial ports and switches needed. Review: Works Perfectly With A Flex Radio 6400M! - I recently upgraded my amateur radio station to a Flexradio Flex-6400M software defined radio, and wished to be able to automatically tune my Ciro-Mazzoni 'Baby" magnetic loop antenna as I did with the previous transceiver. The 6400M is not provided with a serial port, but it does have a USB 'A' port. By using a USB to RS-232 adapter it seemed possible to control my antenna. Unfortunately the USB drivers built into the radio only recognise the FTDI chipset, so it is important to use an adapter so equipped. The StarTech adapter utilises this chipset, and, in addition has two LEDs to indicate activity on the transmit and receive data lines. The cable is sufficiently long that no extension is necessary, and the pin-outs are in the correct order so that a NUL modem cable is not required either. In my case, after setting the USB configuration in the radio, and setting the Ciro-Mazzoni RS-232 speed and protocol as required, it worked perfectly first time. If you are in a similar position and wish to control, for example, a Step-IR or its Italian equivalent the Ultra-Beam antenna, or otherwise require a serial interface to the radio, then I can thoroughly recommend this adapter as a trouble-free solution. ## Features - MULTI-USE FUNCTIONALITY: This versatile USB to serial RS232 adapter is perfect for a range of applications, from digital signage to connecting point-of-sale systems and barcode scanners - CUSTOMIZABLE SOLUTION: This USB serial hub features an FTDI chipset, making it highly customizable and compatible, and the ideal solution for any setup - COMPACT DESIGN: Designed with a small form factor, this serial RS232 converter is USB powered and requires no bulky power adapters or an outlet - EASY INSTALLATION: This serial adapter ensures easy installation and operation with COM port retention that provides robust serial connectivity for legacy devices - TECH SPECS: 6 feet (1.8 meters); FTDI FT232RL Chipset; Max Baud Rate: 115.2 Kbps; 256 Bytes FIFO; None/Odd/Even/Mark Parity Modes; 7 or 8 Data Bits; 1 or 2 Stop bits; TAA Compliant ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004ZMYTYC | | Best Sellers Rank | 7,716 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 197 in USB to USB Adapters | | Brand | StarTech | | Brand Name | StarTech | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Modem, Monitor, PDU, Satellite Receiver, Scanner, Server | | Compatible devices | Modem, Monitor, PDU, Satellite Receiver, Scanner, Server | | Connector Type | DB9 (9-pin) | | Connector type | DB9 (9-pin) | | Country of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,911 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | CE, FCC, RoHS | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030843485 | | Input Voltage | 5 Volts | | Item Dimensions | 182.9 x 4.1 x 2.3 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Data Transfer Cable | | Item Weight | 0.09 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 182.9 x 4.1 x 2.3 centimetres | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Manufacturer Part Number | ICUSB2321F | | Model Number | ICUSB2321F | | Nominal Power | 2.5 Watts | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product Finish Type | Matte | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | Digital signage, Point-of-sale systems, Barcode scanners | | Specific uses for product | Digital signage, Point-of-sale systems, Barcode scanners | | UPC | 065030843485 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Warranty Type | warranty | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Modem, Monitor, PDU, Satellite Receiver, Scanner, Server - **Connector type:** DB9 (9-pin) - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 182.9 x 4.1 x 2.3 centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** Digital signage, Point-of-sale systems, Barcode scanners ## Images ![StarTech.com 6ft (1.8m) 1-Port FTDI USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with COM Retention, USB to RS232 Adapter - TAA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XTMlZ7opL.jpg) ![StarTech.com 6ft (1.8m) 1-Port FTDI USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with COM Retention, USB to RS232 Adapter - TAA - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ncTFYiHdL.jpg) ![StarTech.com 6ft (1.8m) 1-Port FTDI USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with COM Retention, USB to RS232 Adapter - TAA - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MUrPCdtGL.jpg) ![StarTech.com 6ft (1.8m) 1-Port FTDI USB to Serial RS232 Adapter Cable with COM Retention, USB to RS232 Adapter - TAA - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l6Ec+yDVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long is the cable?** A: Yes I can answer this question, the cable is 6 ft. long. **Q: Does serial port have a power at pin #9?** A: No, the ICUSB2321F USB to Serial Adapter does not feature power output on Pin 9 **Q: Are the drivers on the included cd compatible with mac osx 10.6 (snow leopard) ?** A: Hi, Thanks for asking!
