The UT232R is FTDI's premium USB to RS232 evaluation cable
which can be used for testing the functionality of the FT232R
device and drivers prior to design-in.
The electronics, including the FT232RQ chip, are housed in
an attractive white housing. A matching white (2m or 5m) USB cable
uses gold plated USB and DB9 connectors. The UT232R
evaluation cable is uses thumb screws on the DB9 connector to allow
for locking the connector to its mating half.
The UT232R cable uses an enhanced RS232 level converter and
is capable of communication rates from 300 baud to 1M
baud.
The UT232R is fully compatible with Windows 7, RoHS
compliant and is CE and FCC approved.
