The USB485 is an isolated USB-RS422/485 converter.

This product is ideal for laptops which do not have a physical serial port and cannot be used with a conventional interface converter.

Drivers are included (on an 80mm CD) to create a virtual COM port in the operating system.

The USB485 is unique in the market in that it has a world-unique device ID which ensures that it appears under the same COM port number regardless of which USB port on a particular PC it is plugged into. This simplifies application software configuration.

 

The optional CAB-003-XLR cable converts the DB9 connector to the standard 3-pin male XLR used in professional broadcast applications.
