Supports PLCs, barcode scanners, GPS units, modems, and other legacy DB9 connectors with no external power required. Bus-powered from any USB 2.0 port. - GENUINE FTDI CHIPSET FOR STABLE PERFORMANCE: Built with an authentic FTDI chip, not a Prolific or clone chip, for reliable RS-232 data transmission over 1,000kbps. Eliminates driver failures and blue screen issues reported with clone-based serial adapters on Windows 11, 10, and earlier. - DUAL-COLOR LED INDICATORS FOR REAL-TIME DIAGNOSTICS: Individual LED indicators monitor each RS-232 signal pin, TXD, RXD, DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, DCD, and RI, in green or red. Confirm live data flow and troubleshoot serial connections without any additional software or test equipment. - BROAD OS SUPPORT AND PLUG AND PLAY SETUP: Works with Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Linux, and macOS out of the box. The FTDI USB to serial driver installs automatically and retains COM port assignments across reboots, a critical advantage over Prolific-based alternatives. - COMPACT 16-INCH CABLE FOR RACK AND SERVER INSTALLS: The intentional 16in. length keeps cable runs tidy in server racks, industrial panels, and bench setups. The compact USB connector and short cable design reduce port congestion where space is limited around recessed or closely spaced USB 2.0 ports. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B073ZJHNK1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #147 in Serial Adapters | | Brand | Gearmo | | Color | Blue | | Compatible Devices | Devices with RS-232 DB9 female serial ports such as printers, modems, CNS machines, PLCs, radios, etc. | | Connector Type | DB9 Male w/ Hex Nuts, USB Type-A | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (80) | | Input Voltage | 5 Volts | | Item Weight | 2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Gearmo | | Mfr Part Number | GM-FTDI-LED16 | | Model Number | GM-FTDI-LED16 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | Connecting legacy serial devices to modern USB host systems | | UPC | 045079159044 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | | Warranty Type | 1 Year warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gearmo - **Color:** Blue - **Connector Type:** DB9 Male w/ Hex Nuts, USB Type-A - **Specific Uses For Product:** Connecting legacy serial devices to modern USB host systems ## Images ![Gearmo USB to RS-232 Serial Adapter - Genuine FTDI Chipset, Dual-Color LED Indicators Lights, Plug & Play, Use Legacy DB9 Serial Devices with Modern USB Systems (16 in.
