USB-RS485-WE-1800-BT

USB-RS485-WE-1800-BT is a USB-RS485 cable. It is a USB to RS485 levels serial UART converter cable incorporating FTDI’s FT232RQ USB to serial UART interface IC device, which handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with a RS485 interface to USB. Each USB-RS485 cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilizing the FT232RQ, which is encapsulated in the USB connector end of the cable. The USB-RS485 cable is designed for use at the end of an RS485 network up to approximately 10m. It is suitable for a USB to serial RS485 level converter, upgrading legacy peripherals to USB, interface microcontroller UART or I/O to USB, interface FPGA or PLD to USB, USB instrumentation PC interface, USB industrial control, and USB password-protected file transfers.
