FTDI Serial TTL-232 USB Cable

A USB to TTL serial cable with a genuine FTDI FT232RL chip embedded in the connector head. Perfect for debugging, bootloading, programming, and serial communication with microcontrollers and other TTL devices.

Features a translucent body with TX/RX LEDs that blink during data transfer, making it easy to monitor communication. The 6-pin socket provides 5V power and 3.3V logic signals, and is 5V-logic compliant for use with both 3.3V and 5V devices.
