ZATECH USB to Serial RS232 Cable (Windows 10) - USB 2.0, 500Kbps, Plug & Play

Add a serial port to a modern PC that no longer has one built in. This ZATECH USB to Serial RS232 cable converts a USB port into an RS-232 serial interface, letting you connect older serial equipment — from industrial controllers to legacy modems — to a current Windows 10 laptop or desktop.

Compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 hosts, the cable draws its power directly from the USB connection, so there's no separate power adapter to manage. Plug and Play support means Windows can recognise the device automatically in most cases, with host device drivers available for setups that need manual installation, and data transfers at up to 500 kbps.

Good to know

If Windows doesn't automatically recognise the adapter, install the available host device drivers manually to ensure the RS-232 port appears correctly in Device Manager. Because the cable draws power from USB, no additional power supply is required, making it a genuinely portable way to add serial connectivity wherever you need it.
