StarTech.com RS232 Interface Converter 1

StarTech.com Interface Converter, 115.2 kbps Maximum Baud Rate, 1 Port - ICUSB232INT1

This Interface converter provides a simple means to bridge IDC-style internal connections with a D-Sub serial Interface for RS232 communication in desktop environments. It converts signals between an IDC input and a D-Sub output, enabling single-port serial connectivity for devices and systems that require legacy RS232 links while operating at typical desktop mounting and use.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports RS232 signalling at up to 115.2 kbps for high-speed data transfer
  Single-port design reduces panel space and cable complexity
  IDC input simplifies connection to embedded headers on PCBs
  D-Sub output ensures compatibility with standard serial peripherals
  Desktop form factor allows straightforward installation at workstations

Applications

• Suitable for integrating serial sensors with control panels in automation
  Ideal for connecting serial consoles to embedded development boards
  Used with legacy instrumentation that requires a D-Sub RS232 interface
  Can be used for field-service diagnostics on electrical and mechanical equipment
