USB-RS485-WE-1800-BT
Overview
The USB-RS485-WE-1800-BT is a 1.8-meter USB to RS485 serial converter cable featuring FTDI's FT232R chip integrated into the USB connector. It converts USB signals into asynchronous RS485 differential data, providing a simple way to connect industrial equipment to a PC via a 6-wire lead-ended interface.
Why Choose This Part
This cable includes an internal EEPROM for storing user-specific data and integrated LEDs for real-time visual confirmation of Tx and Rx traffic. It features robust ESD protection for RS485 I/O lines and operates across a wide temperature range of -40C to +85C, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the USB-A connector into a host PC to automatically load the VCP (Virtual COM Port) or D2XX drivers from FTDI. The 6-wire cable end can be wired directly into terminal blocks, with the internal FT232R handling all USB protocol signaling and power management.
