Add a high-speed RS-232 serial port to your PC or server using its USB port. The single-port Black Box® USB Director RS-232 makes it easy to connect and disconnect your modems and printers.

You can use this intelligent USB-to-serial converter in point-of-sale settings, for mobile computing in the field, or any place you require flexible I/O expansion. Hook it up to your bar-code scanners, touch screens, security cameras, PDAs, and other peripherals.

By converting the USB port on your desktop PC, laptop, or Thin client to a high-speed RS-232 DB9 serial port, the USB Director RS-232 enables you to attach any peripheral that uses a standard serial interface to your PC. It's the economic alternative to installing a serial card in your computer.

To install the USB Director RS-232, you simply plug the Type A end of the included USB cable into the USB port and the Type B end into the converter. You can make connections without powering down the network or removing the cover of your server or PC. This hot-swappable converter attaches outside the computer chassis and doesn't require a card slot. Plus you don't need to set IRQ jumpers and device address.

Plus, there's no need to worry about configuring the attached device. The USB Director RS-232 autodetects peripheral speed and connections. And, after connecting a new peripheral to your machine, you don't have to reboot your operating system - the device is plug-and-play!

Need more COM ports? You can connect up to four of the single-port USB Director RS-232 units to a hub. Or order one of our 2-, 4-, or 8-port USB Director RS-232 models (IC1001A, IC135A, IC1002A). For details, see Related Items or contact our FREE Tech Support.

Convert 5-V TTL to RS232 to enable easy connection of many commercial and industrial machines still using TTL as a means of communication.

The RS-232 to TTL Converter enables you to control TTL devices. The converter is fast, too - it supports serial data rates of up to 115 kbps!

Just plug it in and you're ready to go. This tiny converter takes almost no space at all, and you can use it with virtually any microcontroller or programmable logic controller that supports TTL.

It also converts two channels (TX and RX) in each direction from RS-232 to TTL.

• For DB9 equipment, if the peripheral operates on the RS-422 signal, use only one DB9 converter. But if the transmitting and receiving equipment only operates on RS-232, use two converters.
• All provide 115.2-kbps speed for distances up to 4000 feet (1219.2 m).
