Where to buy





The advanced active USB converter AXAGON ADS-1PQN easily expands the computer with a serial port of the RS 232 standard.

 


The highest degree of compatibility thanks to the original chip of the Scottish company FTDI.

 


Ideal laptop or computer accessory for connecting barcode readers, cash register printers, scanners, microcontroller programmers, CNC machines, modems, updating or configuring set-top boxes, security devices, switches, radios and other devices.

 


The ADS-1PQN adapter allows you to set advanced features of the serial port.

 


An honest 5 mm thick USB cable with double shielding guarantees stable data transfers without interference.
A sufficiently long USB cable with a length of 1.5 m fixed to the adapter will do in most cases.

 


The electronics of the adapter are embedded in plastic and thus form a very durable unit suitable for industrial applications.
 


The advanced AXAGON ADS-1PQN active USB converter easily extends your computer with a RS 232 standard serial port. The highest level of compatibility between USB - serial RS232 adapters thanks to the use of an original valued chip by the Scottish Company FTDI.

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.
