<< < (2/5) > >>

mariko:
Dos anyone have a raccomended USB to RS232 cable to use with a Funke TRT800H, available on Amazon?

Mike Woodbridge:
Thanks again for your help. I have a flashing red light.  Is it meant to be a steady flash? About one flash a second? Is it not meant to be flashing like an Ethernet data cable?

Regards

Mike.

The cable you want is USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT_0.0. I can only find one seller on Amazon and they are double the usual price! There are similar sounding cables all over the internet, but have heard that they are not always what you expect.
I would recommend buying for one of the reputable name like RS, Farnell etc. The cheaper cable may work, but I cannot guarantee they will.

Hi Mariko,

I concur with Ian, there are a lot of ‘fakes’ out there claiming to be genuine FTDI cables - and not necessarily any cheaper than the real thing, especially with the present chip shortages pushing up prices everywhere. Best to buy from one of the recommended suppliers.

The ‘1800’ by the way refers to the cable length (1800mm). If that isn’t long enough, FTDI also do an ftdi usb‑rs232‑we‑5000‑bt_0.0 as well, available from the same suppliers. Either cable can of course be cut shorter where required.

Best Regards

Peter
