About Plugable PL2303-DB9

You can effortlessly integrate an RS-232 9-pin serial port into any modern computer with the Plugable USB to RS-232 DB9 Serial Adapter. This versatile adapter, equipped with the reliable Prolific PL-2303GT chipset, bridges the gap between legacy serial devices and contemporary computing systems. Ideal for terminal services, data transfer, remote control, and programming tasks, this adapter supports a wide range of baud rates from 75bps to 12Mbps, along with multiple stop bit and parity configurations.

The Plugable USB to Serial Adapter is designed to seamlessly connect legacy RS-232 serial devices to modern computers, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. It features a fixed male port with a secure screw-in connection, making it a perfect replacement for outdated built-in or PCI serial ports. For devices with a male connector, an affordable DB9 coupler or standard serial cable can be easily acquired separately.

Compatibility is a key feature of this adapter, as it works with a broad array of RS-232 serial devices, including PCs with RS-232 ports, Bluetooth serial adapters, telescopes, amateur radio equipment, GPS receivers, routers, firewalls, modems, plotters, embedded character displays, scan tools, sonar units, and embedded boards. Specific compatible devices include the Garmin eTrex GPS, Seiko Label Printer, iRobot Create, Cisco products with serial consoles, US Robotics Modems, NexStar telescopes, Equus Scan Tools, and Uniden Hand Held Scanners.

The adapter is also compatible with a variety of software applications such as HyperTerminal, TeraTerm, WinDBG, and all open-source serial software on Linux. With built-in drivers for Windows 11, 10, 8.x, 7, and most Linux distributions, and available drivers for Windows XP, Vista, and macOS, installation is straightforward and hassle-free.

Rest assured, the Plugable USB to RS-232 DB9 Serial Adapter uses only genuine Prolific serial chipsets, ensuring compatibility with the latest Prolific drivers. Unlike some inexpensive alternatives that use cloned chipsets, our adapter guarantees reliable performance and seamless integration with both downloadable and embedded Windows drivers. Enhance your connectivity with this dependable and efficient solution for integrating legacy serial devices into your modern computing environment.
