High-Speed USB to Serial Adapter – USB-A to DB9 RS-232 Converter

The Tripp Lite USA-19HS is a premium USB-to-serial adapter that provides reliable connectivity between modern USB-enabled devices and legacy RS-232 serial devices. With its USB 2.0 Type-A male to DB9 male RS-232 configuration, it is ideal for IT professionals, engineers, and technicians who need to integrate serial-based equipment—like barcode scanners, modems, GPS units, or industrial automation systems—into contemporary computer systems that lack serial ports. Compact, durable, and universally compatible, this adapter is built to deliver seamless, high-speed performance up to 230 Kbps, offering exceptional reliability even in demanding environments.

Features

The Tripp Lite USA-19HS stands out in the world of USB-to-serial connectivity due to its high-speed chipset and solid build quality. Unlike generic adapters that often struggle with stability, this adapter leverages a Prolific chipset and full hardware/software flow control, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of legacy devices and operating systems including Windows (up to Windows 11), macOS, and Linux. It’s fully bus-powered, meaning it requires no external power supply—making it portable and efficient for field use. The adapter comes with a 3-foot integrated cable, an LED status indicator for activity monitoring, and includes a driver CD for quick setup, although plug-and-play installation is often supported in modern OS environments.

Advanced Options

Whether in server rooms, medical facilities, labs, manufacturing floors, or point-of-sale stations, the USA-19HS ensures uninterrupted communication between USB-equipped computers and serial devices. Tripp Lite has also validated this model for TAA compliance, making it suitable for use in government and corporate environments where procurement standards must be met.
