Featuring a translucent body with RX/TX LEDs, it provides a reliable 5V power line and is compatible with various 5V boards, making it essential for Arduino programming and debugging. ## Description Just about all electronics use TTL serial for debugging, bootloading, programming, serial output, etc. But it's rare for a computer to have a serial port anymore. This is a USB to TTL serial cable, with a FTDI FT232RL usb/serial chip embedded in the head. It has a 6-pin socket at the end with 5V power and ground, as well as RX, TX, RTS and CTS at 3V logic levels. These are perfect for use with a Boarduino, Meggy's, or other Arduino clones and derivatives, and Fuzeboxen. Useful whenever you want to communicate with a TTL serial device, such as an XBee. New! We now have a version with a translucent body and RX/TX LEDs! Now it's easier than ever to debug your setup or see data transfer, the red and green LEDs will blink when data is transmitted/received by the FTDI chip. The version we have is the 3.3V. The data signals are at 3V and the power line provides 5V. We suggest this for any product that needs FTDI cables. Because the cable is 5V-logic compliant, you can use it with 3v or 5v logic just fine - no level shifting required!. If you have a device that is running at 5V logic and requires 5V power, this cable will work fine. If you want to tweak the voltages and signals a little, you should also check out the FTDI friend This cable is fully compatible with the TTL-232 cable from FTDI. You can download the drivers and the diagram / spec sheet which has mechanical cable details. For more details about the FT232RL itself, check out that datasheet here. Note: These use genuine FTDI chips, either we purchase them or they are manufactured to our specifications with the requirement of genuine FTDI chips 10/22/14 ## Features - FTDI cable - Translucent body with RX/TX LEDs - Power line provides 5V - Data signals are at 3V - Works with 5V boards with minor tweaking ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Adafruit | | Connector Type | USB Type A | | Cable Type | USB | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Special Feature | Data Transfer | | Recommended Uses For Product | Arduino programming, debugging, communication with TTL serial devices | | Color | Green,Red | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Male | | Shape | Round | | Number of Pins | 6 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Item Weight | 2 Ounces | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Indoor/Outdoor Usage | Outdoor, Indoor | | Number of Items | 1 | | Item model number | 70 | | Item Weight | 2 ounces | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 2 x 1 inches | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 3 x 2 x 1 inches | | Computer Memory Type | 72-Pin EDO SIMM Memory | | Manufacturer | Adafruit | | ASIN | B00SK8LK1W | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Date First Available | March 12, 2015 | ## Images ![Adafruit FTDI Serial TTL-232 USB Cable [ADA70] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fe0zEXCgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works a peach with an RC2014 to Mac USB connector. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024* Works great for RC2014 to Mac. LED status lights a plus. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars solid design and stable *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2017* this is a solid design. I used it to replace an adopter cable which was unstable (sometimes it would work and sometimes not). That cable had the adapter electronics physically located next to the Arduino instead of at the PC. The Adafruit design has the electronics next to the pc instead and is very stable. The only very small issue is the 6 pin inline connector does not clearly indicate which side is up and it does not have a key to prevent it from being installed upside down. This is minor because it is kind of obvious which way it needs to connect. Adafruit probably did not have a say on the connector used oy the Arduino and had to use what's available. But so far, it is going strong and I am very happy with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars worked perfectly and was delivered on time *by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2018* the product worked well and did what we needed. It had to be delivered to a hotel on a tight time schedule and they did it!
