Simple & reliable USB connectivity
06 September 2021
FARNELL HAS announced a new global distribution agreement with Connective Peripherals that will enhance its range of market-leading connectivity products. Connective Peripherals products simplify system debug and maintenance of equipment featuring serial ports by providing simple and reliable USB connectivity.

The addition of Connective Peripherals expands Farnell’s existing portfolio of products for field and lab-based engineers in a wide variety of applications where it is necessary to connect to instruments or systems via serial ports to carry out field-based configuration, upgrades and maintenance. The product range enables modern PCs and laptops to use a USB Type C port to connect directly to legacy serial interfaces such as RS232/RS422/RS485, CANbus, SPI, I2C, or JTAG.
All adaptors and cables feature built-in electronics, making it easy to connect to any equipment. The cables are also available with connectors, bare ends or single-pole female receptacles, enabling use with systems that offer D-type connectors, header connectors or which require wires to be soldered to the board.
