## Description

Product Description The DIGITUS® USB2.0 serial adapter offers a practical solution for providing serial connectivity. A serial RS232 interface is no longer available on newer hardware. The DIGITUS® USB2.0 serial adapter enables data exchange between a USB2.0 port on the computer and peripheral devices with a serial interface (COM port, RS232), such as weather stations, sensors, machine controls, set-top boxes, games consoles, PDAs, scanners, modems, ISDN adapters and many other peripheral devices. The USB2.0 serial adapter is downwards compatible with USB1.1 and enables customizable baud rates between 75 bits and 128,000 bits per second. The individually configurable FTDI chipset ensures compatibility with all common operating systems and also supports power management and remote wake-up. Power is supplied via the USB port; a separate power supply unit is not required. Manufacturer's Description Digitus USB 2.0 to serial adaptor connects serial devices via USB-Port to a PC

Review: DIGITUS USB to serial adaptor - Works perfectly. No issues setting up. Only need to set the correct port with the limited number of options allowing a trial and error approach. Was delivered next day (a Sunday).
Review: Faultless on Windows 11. - It works seamlessly...finally a USB to RS232 adaptor that works wihtout having out of date drivers etc. I wish I'd come across this years ago! Works nicely on Win11.

## Features

- With the USB to Serial Converter, you can easily connect serial peripheral devices with an RS-232 interface or COM port to your notebook, single-board computer or server system
- Since most modern PCs no longer have serial ports, the adapter is ideal for operating weather stations, sensors, machine controllers, modems or ISDN systems, for example
- The serial adapter with a 9-pin D-SUB connector features an FTDI / FT232RL chipset for customised configuration and full-duplex data transfer at up to 128 Mbit/s
- In addition to remote wake-up, power management is also supported – the converter is compatible with Windows (10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP), Mac OS X and Linux
- Together with the supplied USB extension cable, the adapter can be used as an approx. 85 cm long adapter cable or simply individually as a USB adapter for a COM interface

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DIGITUS USB to serial adaptor
*by S***E on 23 October 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Faultless on Windows 11.

It works seamlessly...finally a USB to RS232 adaptor that works wihtout having out of date drivers etc. I wish I'd come across this years ago! Works nicely on Win11.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little product
*by D***C on 5 December 2017*

Absolutely loving it! Great little product. Extremely fast shipping, even arrived 2 days before estimated delivery date. Affordable and compatible with everything. I use it mosutly for connecting and configuring to HP and CISCO routers and switches. FTDI chipset ensures driver support and hassle free operation, as opposed to previous (Prolific) RS232 converter i owned. With Prolific and other ones i tried (different chipsets) every major Windows update forced driver update, and updated driver never worked, there was no communication with device, so always had to manually reinstall from customized driver and manually stop it from updating. It was quite a chore. With this one it's guaranteed it will always work and auto install perfect driver. It's really small and has protective cap for USB connector so you can conveniently store it almost anywhere. and has separate USB extension cable included. I've tried many of different USB to serial RS232 converters cause we use them at work all the time, on different operating systems and devices, and of all brands and makes this is the one I would recommend to anyone needing the converter. Highly recommended.
