Review on Waveshare USB to RS232/RS485/TTL Industrial Isolated Converter with FT232RL Protection Circuits and Aluminium Alloy Enclosure for Industrial Control Equipments: Enhanced Connectivity and Safety by Noe Miceli

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Better than the usual standard USB to serial converter

For those wondering what you are getting here, see the attached photos of the internal parts. It's better made than most regular no-name USB to serial converters I've seen, decent leak-free except for the bit at the very end where the Waveshare logo is, the two passive ones above the USB port a little close to the RS232 connector, but between it and the (grounded) screws have a plastic plug. The two connecting components are an isolated (1kV) Mornsun 80505 DC/DC converter and an ADUM1411 optocoupler with 3.75kV isolation. The rest should be visible in the photo. Interestingly there is a jumper for the 120 ohm RS485 terminator which I don't think is mentioned anywhere. Pretty decent for the price. Okay, there's no option to add a photo, so you'll need to submit front and back photos here.
