High Compatible WIN10 FTDI FT232RL Uart 5.5V 3.3V USB Type C to TTL Seiral Cable with Terminal End
TTL Serial Adapter
Free Sample Type C Interface 5V/3.3V Ttl Level Uart Signals Ttl Serial Adapter
The cable is easiest way ever to connect to your microcontroller/WiFi router serial port. Inside the big USB plug is a USB<->Serial conversion chip and at the end of the 36" cable are four wire - red power, black ground, white RX into USB port, and green TX out of the USB port. The power pin provides the 5V @ 500mA direct from the USB port and the RX/TX pins are 3.3V level for interfacing with the most common 3.3V logic level chipsets.
Because of the separated pin plugs, this cable is ideal for powering and connecting up to the debug/login console on the Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black. Connect the pins as shown to power the Pi or BBB and establish the RX/TX link.
- If you are running Windows 7/8/10 etc, check this tutorial page with links to drivers for both PL2303 and CP2102
- If you are running Mac OS X, check this tutorial page with links to drivers for both PL2303 and CP2012
- If you are running Linux, drivers are already included in the kernel, no need to install anything!
Also handy for hacking WiFi routers to install alternate OS's, or nearly any other 3.3V logic serial port. This is easier to use than an FTDI cable in many cases because the wires are separated. Note that we call this a "TTL cable" (since that's what they're called) but technically it's CMOS logic.

Revision History
- Prior to July 1 2014 this cable would come with a PL2303HX chipset and a black USB body. After July 1, 2014 we changed to a violet body and the PL2303TA chipset. The new 'TA cables are Win8 compatible, and are more reliable especially when dealing with random USB-disconnects.
- As of Dec. 21, 2016 we will be shipping cables with SiLabs CP2012 chipset instead of Prolific. SiLabs chips seem to have better driver stability, and can handle very high speeds and 'unusual' non-standard baud rates. Other than the driver installation, the cables perform identically.
