What is USB?
USB, or Universal Serial Bus is a connectivity specification developed by
computer and telecommunication industry members for attaching
peripherals to computers.
USB is designed to free all the troubles when installing external
peripherals. It eliminates the hassle to open computer case for installing
cards needed for certain devices.
It is designed to meet Microsoft Plug and Play (PnP) specification,
meaning users can install, and hot-swap devices without long installation
procedures and reboots.
The I-756x USB to RS-232 or RS-485 or RS-422 converter are your smart
and convenient accessory for connecting RS-232 serial devices to your
USB-equipped Windows host computer. It provides a bridge connection
with a standard DB 9-pin male serial port connector in one end and a
standard Type-A USB plug connector on the other end. You simply attach
the serial device onto the serial port of the cable and plug the USB
connector into your PC USB port. It allows a simple and easy way of
adding serial connections to your PC without having to go thru inserting a
serial card and traditional port configuration.
This USB to Serial adapter is ideal for connecting modems, cellular
phones, PDAs, digital cameras, card readers and other serial devices to
