Overview
The Eaton U209-005-C is a Tripp Lite by Eaton USB-C to RS232 DB9 Serial Adapter Cable that connects a computer, laptop, tablet or compatible Android device with a USB-C port to an RS232 serial peripheral. It uses a USB-C male to DB9 male configuration and has an integrated 5 ft. (1.52 m) cable. Eaton specifies data transfer speeds up to 230 Kbps.
The adapter is bus-powered and requires no external power supply. Its premium foil-and-braid shielding helps reduce EMI/RFI interference, making it suitable for serial communication with legacy equipment and peripherals. Eaton lists compatibility with Windows, Mac, Linux and Android devices.
