1580478

Overview

The Phoenix Contact part number 1580478 identifies the ADT-CBL-D-MM-USB/RS232, an adapter cable designed for connecting serial devices to USB ports. This component features a USB 2.0 male connector (type A) on one end and a D-SUB/RS-232 male connector with nine positions on the other. It serves as a physical interface solution for integrating legacy serial equipment with modern computing systems lacking native RS-232 ports.

Feature Summary

• Provides a direct hardware bridge between USB 2.0 Type-A interfaces and standard D-SUB serial connections
• Facilitates communication with serial devices requiring RS-232 protocol support via USB host ports

Applications

• Connecting serial peripheral devices to computers equipped only with USB ports
• Interface adaptation for industrial automation tools utilizing RS-232 communication standards
• Enabling data transfer or configuration for legacy equipment through modern USB hosts

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target device supports standard RS-232 signaling levels compatible with the D-SUB connector specifications. Confirm that the host system recognizes the connected serial device without requiring additional proprietary drivers specific to the adapter's internal circuitry, if any. Ensure the USB port provides sufficient power for passive operation if applicable.

Selection Notes

Select this adapter when a physical connection is required between a USB 2.0 host and a D-SUB 9-pin serial device. It is appropriate for applications needing simple signal translation without complex protocol conversion. Consider mechanical fit and cable length requirements relative to the installation environment.

Part Context

This adapter is listed alongside the CUTFOX 10 automatic cutting device within Phoenix Contact's product catalog. It functions as a connectivity accessory, enabling the integration of serial-based control or monitoring systems with the primary tooling hardware. The part number specifically denotes the cable assembly type rather than an electronic controller.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation.
