1. USB 2.0 A-connector for connection to computer
2. S1: 9-pin serial RS-232 female connector
The EX-1311-2F-5V is a converter for converting USB 2.0 to RS-232 interface
with FIFO 16C550 port for connecting high-speed serial RS-232 peripheral
devices (e.g. modem, plotter etc.). The EX-1311-2F-5V is equipped with a USB
2.0 A-connector for connection to the computer and an RS-232 serial 9-pin
female connector. Since the EX-1311-2F-5V has a 9-pin female connector, it is
therefore possible to connect the EX-1311-2F-5V directly to the end device. The
USB converter is hot plug & play capable. No jumpers or settings are required for
I/O address and interrupt settings, as the settings are automatically made by the
system BIOS during the installation of the operating system. The EX-1311-2F-5V
provides +5 V on pin 9.
Compatibility: USB 1.1 & 2.0
Operating Systems: Windows 9.x / ME / 2000 / XP / Vista / 7 / 8.x / 10 / 11 /
Server 20xx / Linux / MAC
