Description
Connect legacy serial-port equipment to a modern USB-only PC. This Hightech cable bridges the gap between a USB port on your computer and a device that uses a serial connection, making it possible to keep older serial printers and equipment working with current PCs that no longer include a built-in serial port.
At 1.5 metres, it offers enough length for typical desktop setups where the printer or serial device sits alongside or near the PC. It's a simple, dedicated solution rather than a general-purpose adapter, built specifically to link a USB connector at one end to a serial connector at the other.
Key features
- USB connector on one end, Serial connector on the other
- 1.5 metre cable length
- Compatible with standard computers and PCs
- Straightforward single-purpose cable design
Ideal for
- Connecting legacy serial printers to modern USB-only PCs
- Older office equipment lacking native USB support
- Workshops and offices still relying on serial-connected devices
- Replacing a lost or damaged serial adapter cable
Good to know
Most modern operating systems require a USB-to-serial driver to be installed before the connected device is recognised — this is usually available as a free download from the operating system's update service or the device manufacturer's website. Confirm your specific printer or equipment uses a standard serial interface before purchasing, as connector pinouts can vary between older devices.
