Tripp Lite 18in (45.72cm) USB to Null Modem Serial Adapter Cable FTDI w/COM Retention M/F

Engineered for Stable Serial Data

Tripp Lite's U209-18N-NULL adapter is built with an FTDI chipset, a recognized industry standard for reliable USB-to-serial communication. This ensures consistent data flow and avoids the common connection drops or errors that can occur with generic adapters. The cable's design specifically addresses DCE/DTE conflicts, a frequent hurdle when connecting older networking equipment or industrial controllers to modern computers. Its robust shielding protects against electromagnetic interference, crucial for maintaining data integrity in environments with electrical noise. For Indian users, this means a dependable link to legacy hardware, imported directly to ensure authentic performance.

Ideal for Legacy Hardware Integration

This adapter is perfect for connecting older modems, routers, switches, industrial machinery, or any device with a DB9 serial port to a laptop or PC that lacks one. It's especially useful for IT professionals, network engineers, or hobbyists working with legacy systems. Users who need a stable COM port assignment, even after system reboots, will benefit from the FTDI's COM retention feature. Those requiring a simple, plug-and-play solution that doesn't need external power will find this 18-inch cable ideal. However, if your device requires higher data speeds than 256 Kbps or a different connector type, this specific adapter may not be suitable.
