FTDI Chip USB to RS-422 Converter Cable Wire Ended with LED.

The USB-RS422 cable is a USB to RS422 levels serial UART converter cable incorporating FTDI's FT232RL 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 RS422 interface to USB.

Each USB-RS422 cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FT232R, which is encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable. The integrated electronics also include the RS422 transceiver plus Tx and Rx LEDs which give a visual indication of traffic on the cable (if transparent USB connector mould specified). The other end of the cable is bare, tinned wire ended connections by default, but can be customised using different connectors to support various applications.

Cables are FCC, CE, RoHS compliant.
