Tripp Lite USA-19HS Usb to Serial Adapter

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE USA-19HS is a high-speed USB to serial adapter designed to convert a standard USB port into an RS-232 serial interface. It allows technicians and installers to connect legacy serial devices to modern computers and equipment that no longer include native serial ports. The adapter is compact and suited for field use by electricians, control system integrators, and HVAC technicians who need to communicate with serial-based controllers, programming tools, or diagnostic equipment. It ships as a single unit and falls in the media converter category.

This adapter is commonly used in commercial and light industrial settings where serial communication is still required for device configuration, firmware updates, or data logging. Typical applications include connecting laptops to serial consoles, industrial controllers, HVAC rooftop unit programming interfaces, and building automation systems that use RS-232 protocols. It is a practical solution when a direct serial port is unavailable on a technician workstation or field laptop.

Key Features

• Converts USB to RS-232 serial for legacy device connectivity
• High-speed data transfer for reliable serial communication
• Compact form factor suited for field and bench use
• Single-unit packaging for individual deployment or kit builds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard USB to RS-232 serial adapter for use with computers, laptops, and other USB host devices requiring a serial communication port.

Installation Notes

Installation is handled by electricians, IT technicians, or control system integrators. Connect the USB end to an available USB host port and attach the serial device to the RS-232 connector. Ensure any required device drivers are installed on the host system before use. Power down or log out of the connected serial device before disconnecting to prevent data loss or communication errors.
