Description
The GM-TTL5VT USB to TTL 5V Header Cable is a USB to Serial UART (TTL Level) allows you to connect your computer through an available USB port and uses it as a regular serial communication. All USB protocol is handled within this adapter, there is no other device or programming required and supports plug-and-play technology.
The adapter is perfect for embedded systems that require a serial connection to a computer and is compliant with USB spec. 2.0 & 1.1. The board attaches directly to the USB bus via a standard type “A” Male receptacle connector for upstream data. The USB to Serial UART shows up on any Windows computer as a standard serial COM port. Any applications that talk to this COM port are automatically converted to USB and back to UART to your target board.
Additional Features:
- The Cable provides a USB to TTL Serial interface to 6-pin header.
- Single board USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface
- Entire USB protocol handled by the electronics in the cable USB
- UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd / even / mark / space / no parity
- Fully assisted hardware (RTS#/CTS#) or X-On / X-Off software handshaking.
- Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3 Mbaud at TTL levels.
- +5V output allows external logic to be powered from the USB port
- VCC Output rating current Max. 450mA
- Transmit and receive LEDs
- UHCI / OHCI / EHCI host controller compatible
- Low USB bandwidth consumption.

This has the genuine FTDI chip and has no problem with the current FTDI drivers, unlike some cheaper cloned parts.

I build a lot of electronic projects that often need some kind of debug port. I design in RS232 level shifters to take up space and time. Then I have to find a USB to RS232 converter anyway to get the signal to the PC
Using this, I just put a header on the board an save space and design time
Not for general consumer, but good for hobbyist and engineers.

Works Perfect. Needed a USB cable of this type for my old Rover’s fuel injection computer. Like the fact that it has the lights to show you status built right into the plug.

This cable uses the very well-designed FTDI serial converter chip, and has worked flawlessly for me. I’ve used it with nonstandard baud rates and I’ve also had success modifying the firmware with FTDI’s own .NET-based tool (for Windows) as well as the open-source ft232r_prog utility (under Linux). This cable has an advantage over the factory/OEM cable in that it features Tx/Rx LEDs visible through the clear moulding on the USB end.
If you’re considering this cable to use it with the Lucas 14CUX, I can say that it works very well.

I purchased this for my Arduino Pro 5v and it worked perfectly. The LED was a really nice touch to help note when it was done uploading.
