Product Description

ftdi led serial rs232 rs-232 usba usb-a usb a adapter gearmo 2.0

USB to serial RS-232 16 Inch Adapter with Windows 10 support

This USB to serial RS-232 adapter is 16 inches long and the easiest way to add a serial port to your computer. Newer computers today lack serial ports for communication; this affects PDA, digital camera, and GPS type equipment that may be used on your system.

The 16 inch USB to serial adapter is great for troubleshooting and allows you to add a single serial port to monitor the status of your connections via LED activity flashes. When connection activity is present, the LED's will flash letting you know you have signal on the pins.

The GM-FTDI-LED16 USB serial adapter offers an advanced FTDI Chipset supported by Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, XP, Vista, Linux, and macOS. It supports USB 2.0 port connections and RS-232 connection with double color LED display of full signal power. The device is powered individually by the USB 2.0 port. This 16 inch serial device is easily installed with its Plug and Play features. It’s easy to test the RS-232 host to device link and is backward compatible with USB Spec 1.1.

Having old school serial cable with the best thing have

My main reason for purchasing this unt was I wanted a short cable (not 3’) and had to work in the OSX Ventura. My older Keyspan was great, but they are so slow in creating device drivers, they may never have one for a Ventura; now that kext’s are not supported by third parties

I needed a RS232 adapter that mapped a USB port to Com8.This one did.It works.The LEDs are a nice touch - though not terribly useful.If you can see a millisecond flash during communications, then they are just fluff.Should come with a RS232 for Dummies book.Summary:Worked for me.

Fine product to convert usb serial

Fast shipping and device works in all aspects. One really great feature is the clear case has an LED for each data line (TXD, RXD etc) If you trouble shooting a "system" it gives great visual clue as to whether a given data line is passing bytes as it should...wish I had this years ago would have save me countless hours

I installed the Gearmo 16in. USB 2.0 to RS-232 Serial Converter, went to the Gearmo website, attempted to download the drivers, but was told the latest drivers were already installed. Did the same for the CD that came with the converter and got the same message. No surprise. Typically, website drivers are the latest and greatest, so I would start there first as long as you've made sure you have the latest Windows updates.For me, the converter took a little time to be detected, but it was and it works great now. Maybe do a restart before you start to think its not working for you. Honestly, I haven't relied on the indicators since the installation. Maybe you will if you have an issue. I'm just happy it works as I've tried other, cheaper ("less sophisticated") converters with no success. Hope this helps someone who still has a Plusdeck 2c like I do.

Works great just as described. I use for work and for programming control boards and engine ECM’s. No issues. Buy it.

I've used a bunch of adapters in my time, and this one is great. Shame that it's not a native driver, but has worked with dozens of different devices so far without a hitch. The diagnostic lights are very handy to troubleshoot a questionable device using a hand-made cable - proof of life when you can't get Putty to give you any output.
