Aluminum alloy housing, USB-B port, RS232 DB9 port, screw terminals for RS485/TTL and LED indicators
Key features
- Uses the original CH343G chip for fast, stable and reliable communication with improved compatibility.
- Built-in galvanic power isolation provides stable isolated voltage and does not require an additional power source for the isolated side.
- Built-in digital (ADI magnetic) isolation for signals ensures high reliability, strong noise immunity, and low power consumption.
- The built-in TVS (transient voltage suppressor) effectively suppresses surges and transient peak voltages in the circuit, providing protection against lightning and electrostatic discharge.
- The built-in self-recovering fuse and protection diodes provide stable output currents/voltages, over-current/voltage protection, and improve shock resistance.
- The fully automatic, zero-delay transceiver circuit ensures fast and stable data exchange between the USB port and various interfaces without mutual interference.
- The built-in 3.3V/5V TTL level converter allows you to adjust the TTL level using a switch.
- The aluminum alloy body with sandblasting and anodic oxidation is CNC machined, making it strong and durable.
- 3 LEDs to indicate power and transceiver status (PWR, TXD, RXD).
- High-quality USB-B and RS232 (DB9 male) connectors for easy connection and disconnection.
- Support for various operating systems: Mac, Linux, Android, Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7.
Important note:
- Only one of the interfaces (RS232, RS485 or TTL) can be converted to USB at a time.
- RS232, RS485 and TTL interfaces cannot be converted into each other using this device.
