Lindy USB to Serial Converter Lite (42855) connects an RS232 peripheral to a computer through USB Type A. It provides a male 9-way RS232 connector at one end and a male USB Type A connector at the other, making it useful for bringing serial equipment into a USB-equipped computer setup.
The converter is USB bus-powered, so it needs no separate power supply. Its 1.5 m cable gives some flexibility when positioning the connected device. Lindy lists Windows and Mac operating systems and USB Type A equipped computers as compatible. Example uses include connecting barcode scanners and industrial devices. The listed chipset is PL2303GS.
