USB to RS485 adapter with TX/RX LEDs

This FTDI Chip cable converts a USB port to an RS485 serial interface with a six-foot wire-end termination. Integrated TX and RX LEDs provide visual indication of data traffic direction. The USB-RS485-WE model includes driver support for straightforward installation on compatible systems. It serves industrial, automation and legacy equipment connections where RS485 signalling is required.

Engineers needing a simple USB-to-RS485 link

Users who need galvanic isolation, a different connector style, or a cable length other than six feet will not be served by this specific adapter. Those requiring multi-drop bus termination built into the cable should also look elsewhere.
