Product Details

Interface isolated RS485/RS422 devices directly to your PC via USB.

Amber Waves Electronics (AWE) designed this isolated USB to RS485/RS422 converter around the versatile CP2104 serial USB engine. The signal lines and the ground lines are isolated between the USB and RS485/RS422 sides of this device.


The converter and the isolation circuitry is powered by the USB port - no external supply needed.

The converter board is available with and without an enclosure.

The driver enable control is done automatically by the CP2104 - there is no need for jumpers for this based on the communication rate. Two separate LEDs indicate transmission and reception of data packets.

The RS485/RS422 interface connection is a small 5-terminal screw header. This allows for connection to communication cable as heavy as 18 gauge stranded. Supports wiring topography for RS485/RS422. Receive jumper allows for optional reception of transmitted packet.

On-board jumpers allow for selection of RS485 (2 wire half duplex) or RS422 (4-wire full duplex) and line termination for either driver type.

USB 2.0. USB 'mini-B' connector. Driver support for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac, and Linux.
