SERIAL CABLE DATA SHEET RN-SRL-FTD5V USB to 5V Serial UART Cable, FTDI Chipset Features Enables USB-to-Serial TTL conversion/bridging Connects to device (Microcontroller) UART or I/O Data transfer rates from 300K to 3M baud at TTL levels I/O includes TX, RX, RTS, CTS, VCC, and GND USB 2.0 full speed compatible Supports 7 or 8 Data bits, 1 or 2 Stop bits, and parity setting of None, Even, Odd, Mark, or Space Data Flow controlled by RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF internal EEPROM with allocated user writable area FTDIChip-IDTM Security feature supported PCB assembly powered by USB Bus External Logic powered from USB Port at +5V or +3V Factory Set for +3.3V CMOS drive outputs and 5V safe TTL inputs Operating Temperature ranging from -40C to +85C OHCI, UHCI, and EHCI host controller compatible Zero-Cost Royalty Free Drivers and Virtual Comm Port Software Drivers (USB and DLL software interface) supports:W98, 98SE, ME, Win2K, Win2003, WinXP, Win2008, WinXP-64, Win7, Win764,WinVista, WinVista64, WinXP-Embedded, WinCE v4.2, v5.0, v6.0, and Linux 2.4+ Virtual Comm supports: W98, 98SE, ME, Win2K, Win2003, WinXP, Win2008, WinXP64, Win7, Win7-64, WinVista, WinVista64, WinXP-Embedded, WinCE v4.2, v5.0, v6.0, MAC OS8, OS9, OSX, and Linux 2.4+ Available lengths up to 6-Feet (1.8 m) Available in either Black or Translucent USB connector shell overmold Description The RN-SRL-FTD5V is a USB-to-Serial TTL bridge cable available in Black or Translucent overmold USB-A male connectors, having connection-ready 6 conductor tinned-leads at the opposite end. Each cable is made up to a 6 foot length (1.8m), with a heat-shrink finish treatment. At the core of each cable assembly is the RNSRL-FTD5V-DGL USB-to-Serial TTL Bridge Board Module (PCB Assembly) designed to accommodate a quick and easy means to interconnect to devices having TTL level Serial interfaces which require conversion to USB. The RN-SRL-FTD5V-DGL cable assembly is assembled with a fixed TTL level of +5V, and are RoHS compliant. Deriving its power from the USB bus connection, the RN-SRL-FTD5V-DGL is USB 2.0 Full Speed Compatible and inherently complies with all of the FTDI-FT232R documented features and specifications. It also includes support for data transfer rates of up to 3Mbaud and supports the FTDIChip-IDTM feature as well. This feature involves the factory-installed unique internal serial number for use in cases where security is an issue, and where password protection is required for applications involving file transfer processes and other security applications. Each RN-SRL-FTD5V (Translucent) is equipped with two LEDs preconfigured as data transmission activity indicators for the TX (RED) and RX (GREEN) signal lines. Redefining the fixed function purpose of either or both LEDs may be possible through use of third party software and utilities. Software drivers are zero-cost and royalty-free and readily available from various online sources as well as from our support site: http://rovingnetworks.com/support.php 102 Cooper Court Los Gatos, California (408) 395-5300 info@RovingNetworks.com RN-SRL-FTD5V Page 1 of 4 SERIAL CABLE DATA SHEET RN-SRL-FTD5V Mechanical Details -Wire Descriptor Wire Descriptor Wire Color Connection Function Description Black GND GND Ground Supply Brown CTS# Input Clear to Send - Handshake Red Vcc Output +5V output Orange TXD Output Transmit Async Data Output Yellow RXD Output Receive Async Data Input Green RTS# Input Request to Send - Handshake Bare SHLD SHLD GND Shield Ground Operating Parameters Parameter VCC Io T Reference Output Power Voltage Output Power Current Operating Temps.
