Connective Peripherals now offers a portfolio of converter cabling solutions fitted with USB Type-C terminals. These new cables from the FTDI-approved module/cabling subcontractor will benefit engineers by serving to aid the interconnection of electronics hardware with legacy equipment and peripherals. Providing USB-to-RS232, USB-to-TTL and USB-to-MPSSE data interfacing, they can be offered in either Full-Speed or High-Speed versions. The company claims to be the only supplier on the market, providing High-Speed moulded cables with Type-C terminations. These cables offer lightweight but robust and reliable construction and are supplied in a mixture of lengths, including 0.1m, 0.5m, 1.0m and 1.8m (dependent on the particular model specified).

Principal uses for these FCC and CE compliant cables are embedded system development and evaluation activities - enabling the functional parameters of prevalent FTDI ICs to be assessed.

Other potential areas where these cables can be used include test instrumentation, debug apparatus, office equipment, industrial drives and controls, POS units, barcode scanners, etc. A full suite of drivers (for MAC, Windows, Linux, etc.) is provided to support them.
