The StarTech ICUSB232C is a bus-powered USB-C-to-DB9 RS-232 adapter for connecting serial peripherals to compatible USB-C computers, making it suitable for users who need a straight-through serial connection with baud rates up to 921.6 Kbps.
Recommended For
- IT administrators maintaining RS-232 equipment from newer USB-C laptops, especially when they need a portable adapter for field or mixed-device work.
- Retail or point-of-sale technicians connecting USB-C computers to compatible DB9 receipt printers, barcode scanners, or other RS-232 peripherals.
- Industrial and automation technicians who need a laptop-powered USB-C connection for configuring or communicating with RS-232 PLCs, sensors, or other DB9 equipment.
- Field technicians or installers working with compatible serial devices away from a fixed workstation, where a compact, USB-powered adapter avoids carrying a separate power supply.
