Introduction 

The USBG-232FT-1 is a Dual Port RS-232 USB to Serial adapter that allows you to add 

two RS-232 serial ports to your computer by connecting to a single USB port. Adapter 

includes a 3 foot USB extension cable. Plugging the USBG-232FT-1 USB Serial Adapter to 

the USB port, the adapter is automatically detected and installed. There are no IRQ & 

COM port conflicts, since the port doesn't require any additional IRQ, DMA, memory as 

resources on the system. The RS-232 port functions as native Windows COM port, and it 

is compatible with Windows serial communication applications. Each port is individually 

configurable.
