Genuine FTDI TTL-232R-5V-WE USB to TTL Serial UART Cable 5V with Header Plug

Genuine FTDI TTL-232R-5V-WE – USB to TTL Serial (UART) Cable

Genuine FTDI cable recovered from decommissioned commercial equipment.
The FT232R converter chip is built into the USB connector – no drivers
needed on modern Windows, macOS or Linux (VCP drivers load
automatically and it appears as a standard COM port).

SPECIFICATION
- Chipset: FTDI FT232RQ (genuine – not a clone)
- Signal level: 5V TTL UART
- Model: TTL-232R-5V-WE (wire-ended variant)
- Terminated in a 2x5 female header connector (2.54mm pitch) – see photo
- Cable approx. 1m, 24AWG

USES
- Serial console access to routers, switches and embedded devices
- Arduino / Raspberry Pi / microcontroller UART communication
- Firmware flashing and board-level debugging
- Replacing an unreliable clone adapter with the real thing

CONDITION
Used, good working condition. Enumerates correctly as an FTDI COM port.
Note the header pinout follows the original host equipment, not FTDI's
standard colour order – check the wire colours against the FTDI
TTL-232R datasheet (freely available) before connecting. Standard FTDI
wire colours: black = GND, red = 5V out, orange = TXD, yellow = RXD.
