The USB2-H-500X-M family provide a simple method of adapting legacy serial devices with RS485
interfaces to modern USB ports by incorporating the FTDI’s Hi-Speed USB bridge chips.
The adaptor which is contained within a metal enclosure is either USB powered or externally powered
(depends on the number of ports) and can supply an output of +5VDC @ up to 80mA on the 5mm
terminal block connectors or 30mA on the Pin 9 of DB9 connectors. Indicator LEDs provide functional
status.
The USB2-H-500X-M family have been tested to be compliant with both FCC Part 15 Subpart B and

Introduction
1.1
Functional Description
The USB2-H-500X-M modules are a family of communication devices. This model, USB2-H-500X-M,
provides a simple method of adapting many legacy RS485 serial devices to a modern USB port. This is
accomplished by incorporating the industry standard FTDI USB2.0 Hi-Speed serial bridge chip.
The integrated electronics of the USB2-H-100X-M utilise the FTDI FT4232H, FT2232H or FT232H plus
RS485 level shifters and TXD/RXD LEDs to provide a visual indication of data traffic through the module.
