Description
I/O pins configured to operate at 5V
Allows for a simple way to connect TTL interface devices to USB
Can be used to program your Arduino Pro, Pro Mini and Lilypad
Well protected against the elements
RoHS compliant
The FTDI USB-to-TTL (Serial) Cable 5V is a USB to Serial (TTL level) converter which allows for a simple way to connect TTL interface devices to USB. The I/O pins of this FTDI cable are configured to operate at 5V. The FTDI cable is designed around an FT232RQ, which is housed in a USB A connector. The other side of the cable is terminated with a 0.1" pitch, 6-pin connector with these pinout: RTS, RX, TX, 5V, CTS, GND (RTS is the green cable and GND is black).
This cable has the same pinout and functionality as Sparkfun's FTDI Basic Breakout board; you can use it to program your Arduino Pro, Pro Mini. For use with those boards, align the black and green wires of the FTDI cable with the 'BLK' and 'GRN' labels on the PCB. There are pros and cons to the FTDI Cable vs the FTDI Basic. The FTDI Basic has great LED indicators, but requires a miniB cable. The FTDI Cable is well protected against the elements, but is large and cannot be embedded into a project as easily. The FTDI Basic uses DTR to cause a hardware reset where the FTDI cable uses the RTS signal.
Does what it says on the tin. If you need an "FTDI" controller, that is, to plug a serial device into a USB port and send/receive data to it, then this is the droid that you are looking for.

Works great
I bought this cable in order to upload a Arduino sketch to a standalone micro-controller. It works great. You must pay attention on the wiring though in order to reset the IC before the upload process starts.
If you are not satisfied for whatever reason with a Product you bought on the Site, it is possible to return it for refund within 30 days from the date you received it unless otherwise indicated in the Product listing.
