The US232B evaluation cable replaces our older FT8U232AM evaluation cable with a new version complete with a 1m long tethered USB cable. The US232B is packaged as a compact USB <=> RS232 cable in an attractive enclosure and uses the enhanced Sipex SP213EHCA as it's RS232 level converter so is now able to support RS232 Baud rates of up to 460k Baud. The US232B is now available through the FTDI Sales Network in Europe, USA and Japan.
For those FTDI customers who wish to package their own USB design in an attractive enclosure, the USB cable, enclosure and DB9 connector are available as a set (without electronics). Contact FTDI Sales if you are interested.
For manufacturers who are interested in making this product for themselves either with our enclosure or one of their own design, we can supply you with the US232B reference design free of charge. This consists of schematics, bill of materials and the PCB design in Gerber format.
