Where to buy






The advanced AXAGON ADS-1PQ active USB converter easily extends your computer with a RS 232 standard serial port.

 



The highest degree of compatibility  thanks to the original chip by FTDI.
Installing the adapter drivers is very simple, just connect the adapter to your computer, and the driver automatically downloads and installs itself.

 



An ideal accessory for your laptop or computer to connect barcode readers, cash register printers, microcontroller programmers, modems, CNC machines, and to upgrade or configure set-top boxes, security devices, switches, transmitters and other devices.

 



The ADS-1PQ adapter allows you to set advanced serial port properties.

 



A true 5 mm thick, double-shielded USB cable guarantees stable data transmissions without interference.
A 1.5 m long cable attached permanently to the adapter is sufficient in most cases.

 



The adapter electronics is embedded in plastic and thus form a very durable unit also suitable for industrial applications.

FAQ

A): After installing the drivers the adapter will log in Device Manager in the section Ports (COM and LPT) as USB to serial Comm Port, so it can.

B): However, it still depends on the SW device, some very old programs need a specific interrupt (IRQ) that does not work correctly with the USB / COM converter.

A): You will need a female-female reduction because the ADS-xx has a male end.

B): Be careful that this reduction is not cross-linked (so called Null Modem), so you need a standard non-cross-linked reduction to connect.

A): Yes, using multiple ADS-xx units on one PC (NTB) is possible.

B): Each adapter gets its own COM port number assigned by the system, which can be changed in the settings as needed by the user.
