USB to Serial Adapters and Converters, USB over Ethernet, USB Cables and Tech Data
Most computers today are shipped with at least two USB ports,
but many no longer provide RS-232 serial ports. If you are
replacing an older PC that has been connected to a peripheral
with RS-232, what can you do? B&B Electronics’ USB
to Serial Converters provide a low-cost and easy to implement
solution. Some incorporate additional features such as surge
protection and optical isolation. In situations where your
PC doesn’t have enough USB ports, our multi-port hubs
are the answer. We also have USB Boosters and Extenders to
increase cable length beyond the typical 5 meters specified
for USB. Whatever your application we can supply you with
the appropriate product, technical information and support.

Quick Facts
Universal Serial Bus is a serial protocol and physical layer
link. Data is transmitted differentially on one pair of wires,
providing relatively good noise immunity. Another pair carries
DC power to downstream devices, allowing many low power devices
to be bus powered. USB supports a high data rate and ‘hot
swap’ connection for PCs, providing an easy connection
to a wide variety of multimedia and network USB devices.
