Product Description
FTDI based USB to TTL Serial Cable are designed using the the standard FT232BL chipset.
The cables provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with a TTL level serial interface to USB.
RX and TX LEDs indicator.
The cables are available with a 6-way SIL, 0.1" connector.
TTL levels is 3.3V.
The TTL-232R cables are a family of USB to TTL serial UART converter cables incorporating FTD's FT232RQ USB to Serial. UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signal and protocols.
- Note:The FT232BL is made in China version, but function is same as original one.
Each TTL-232R cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FT232R, which is encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable.

Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Learn more how customers reviews work on AmazonCustomers say
Customers like the performance and value of the adapter. For example, they mention it works perfectly, is reasonably priced and an inexpensive USB to serial adapter with CTS/RTS included. That said, some complain about the build quality. Opinions are mixed on quality and ease of use.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are satisfied with the performance of the adapter. They mention that it works perfectly on MAC, Windows 10, and Linux. Some say that it's great for embedded needs and works as advertised.
"This works great with Arduinos & other demo boards...." Read more
"I used this for an Arduino Pro Mini. It worked fine, you just have to remember to do a manual reset between compile and download on the Arduino..." Read more
"...few times, and I also used it to program an OSD for RC FPV, and it worked flawlessly. What can I say, it's a good value for the price." Read more
"...No complaints from me. Works for all my embedded needs." Read more
Customers appreciate the value of the adapter. They mention it's a reasonable priced FTDI cable with CTS/RTS included and an inexpensive USB to serial adapter, which is good value for money.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the adapter. Some mention it's a solid quality product, while others say it comes with a loose USB plug and a deformed plug.
"...Only get FTDI ones as their drivers work the best.No issues with it falling apart for me.However I do not think there are any LEDS..." Read more
"...This is the first time I've seen a cable with a loose USB plug, much less two. 10/10 would not recommend.UPDATE:..." Read more
"...I own a handful of these guys. Never a problem.It runs stable for days with Tera Term & Putty, never an issue or lockup...." Read more
"The item arrived well packaged. And it seems it is a good quality cable. It used 28AWG wires and it is 3 feet long! which is really nice...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the electronic adapter. Some mention it's very convenient for debugging and easy to use, while others say there's no manual or pin-out to tell them how it works.
"...I used them to dev apps for PIC systems. Great way to get debug info from a running app on via a UART, pipe your debug info back out the port to..." Read more
"...of a complete set, but not really by themselves, in a static bag and no manual or even a pin-out to tell me how it's wired. That's how I received it...." Read more
"...Much easier to use than FTDI's direct offerings in this space, so pretty much a win." Read more
"...at 115200 - used with generic device at 3.3v serial - comes without any documentation so copy the product description which includes the pinouts and..." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the build quality of the adapter. They mention that the structural quality of this part sucks, the shell case is not well made, and it tends to come apart. The strain relief was separating along what they originally thought was an injection. The plug and the PCB are weak and easily bent. The two press-fit halves do not comprise an adequate strain relief.
"...The strain relief was separating along what I originally thought was an injection molding seam, but was actually the seam between two press-fit..." Read more
"The solder connection between the USB plug and the PCB is weak and easily bent...." Read more
"...But the shell case is no glued, comes apart, and the USB connector gets bent. So they will need to be glued to be durable...." Read more
"...This thing is built like crap. Flimsy. No throughhole mounts for board or pigtails secure encasement." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the adapter. They mention that the wires are broken inside, the solder joints are broken, and the case where the chip is was broken. The USB plug is loose and eventually came out of the cable.
"...I received mine in a envelope; the ecasement where the chip is was broke(still in package); and solder joints are broken...." Read more
"Wire broken inside, If you think you are getting a higher quality item because this one cost a bit more, you are not...." Read more
"Connection is intermittent, USB plug is loose and eventually came out of the cable..." Read more

Only get FTDI ones as their drivers work the best.
No issues with it falling apart for me.
However I do not think there are any LEDS...
It runs stable for days with Tera Term & Putty, never an issue or lockup.
These won't blue screen you on Windows 10 like some of the off brand crap used to on Windows 7.
I used it to program an Arduino board few times, and I also used it to program an OSD for RC FPV, and it worked flawlessly. What can I say, it's a good value for the price.

UPDATE:
After a few months of light use I disconnected the cable from my computer and the USB A plug came out of the molded strain relief! The strain relief was separating along what I originally thought was an injection molding seam, but was actually the seam between two press-fit halves. I used a small screwdriver to pry the halves apart (which was disturbingly easy) and found that the only thing that had been holding the USB connector in place was the friction between the two press-fit halves of the strain relief!
I'm no expert on board-mounted male USB-A plugs, but when you install a board-mounted port on a circuit board you are supposed to solder the contacts AND attach the housing to the board. In this product the contacts were soldered but only thing holding the housing to the board was the press-fit strain relief. On a different USB to TTL board I own the housing of the male USB-A is both crimped and soldered to the board. (This board appears to be designed to have the USB-A plug attached in the same way, but it was neither crimped nor soldered.)
This brings up issue #2. Two press-fit halves do not comprise an adequate strain relief. The strain relief on a cable is typically a single piece molded around the connector to prevent mechanical loads from being transferred through the connector.
Finally, when I was reinstalling the USB-A plug onto the board I discovered issue #3. The circuit board is cut slightly too long for the USB-A plug to seat properly. I had to trim about 0.4mm off the end of the board before I could get the plug to seat on the board.
