The USB to NMEA Serial Adapter cable offers a straightforward and efficient way to connect NMEA 0183 - compatible marine equipment to your PC. Inside the USB connector, there's a small electronic circuit board. This circuit converts serial data bidirectionally and features Tx and Rx LEDs to show data traffic on the cable. The other end has bare, tinned wire connections that can be quickly attached to NMEA 0183 - compatible gear using a suitable connector block or terminals. This cable meets FCC, CE, and RoHS standards. It's USB - powered and USB 2.0 full - speed compatible. Measuring 1.8m long, it supports a data transfer rate of up to 1 Mbaud. Drivers are available for WinXP, Vista, Win7, LINUX, and Mac OS X.

Using this adapter is easy. First, connect the USB end of the cable to your PC. Then, attach the bare, tinned wire end to your NMEA 0183 - compatible marine equipment using a connector block or terminals. Make sure your PC has the right drivers installed, which are available for WinXP, Vista, Win7, LINUX, and Mac OS X. When using it, keep an eye on the Tx and Rx LEDs. If they're not lighting up, there might be an issue with the data transfer. As for maintenance, keep the cable away from moisture and sharp objects. If you're not using it, store it in a dry place. Also, don't try to modify the cable or the internal circuit board as it may void the compliance and functionality.
