MANHATTAN USB To Serial Converter - Connect Legacy Devices To Modern Computers 18-inch Cable

About This Product

Got old equipment that needs a serial port but your new computer only has USB? This MANHATTAN USB to Serial converter is your solution! It easily adds an RS232 port to any USB 1.1 or 2.0 port, letting you connect all those legacy devices that modern computers just don't support anymore. We're talking about serial modems, barcode scanners, digital cameras, label writers, card readers, Palm Pilots, and other older peripherals that still work perfectly fine but need that serial connection. The 18-inch cable gives you enough length to position your devices comfortably, and the gold-plated contacts ensure reliable data transfer up to 225 kbps. Installation is super simple - it's plug and play with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 (just plug it in and it works without complicated drivers). The Prolific PL2303 chipset inside is known for stable performance, and the rugged construction means this adapter can handle daily use without issues. What's really impressive is the lifetime warranty - MANHATTAN stands behind this product completely. If you've been holding onto older equipment because it still works great but can't connect to newer computers, this $20 adapter solves that problem instantly. It's one of those simple solutions that saves you from having to replace perfectly good equipment just because technology standards have changed.
