FTDI to USB-C Cable - 5V VCC, 3.3V I/O
Say goodbye to the USB insertion shuffle! The FTDI to USB-C Cable is your go-to solution for easy serial communication with TTL interface devices, minus the frustration of getting the plug orientation right. Built around the reliable RS232 chipset , this cable converts USB-C to TTL serial , making it perfect for makers, tinkerers, and engineers who need to interface with microcontrollers, sensors, and other devices.
The 1-meter cable features a sturdy 26AWG construction with a 2-inch protective enclosure around the USB-C connector, ensuring durability in all your projects. On the other end, a 6-pin 0.1" pitch connector provides quick access to common serial lines: RTS, RX, TX, VCC (5V), CTS, and GND, making it easy to hook up to your devices.
While this FTDI cable offers better protection and a streamlined setup than the FTDI Basic , it does come with some trade-offs. The FTDI Basic is more compact and has handy LED indicators, but it relies on a Mini-B cable, and we all know how those are slowly becoming extinct. With this USB-C cable , you get modern connectivity and rugged durability—just be aware it uses RTS instead of DTR for hardware resets.
