## Description

The FTDI Cable is a USB-to-Serial (TTL level) converter that provides a simple way to connect TTL interface devices to USB. Built around the FTDI FT232RQ chip housed in the USB-A connector, this cable operates at 5V logic levels. The cable terminates in a 0.1" pitch, 6-pin connector commonly used for programming Arduino Pro, Pro Mini, and LilyPad boards. Align the black (GND) and green (RTS) wires with the BLK and GRN labels on the target board. Key Features FTDI FT232RQ Chip – Reliable USB-to-serial conversion built into the USB-A connector 5V Logic Level – I/O pins configured for 5V TTL devices 0.1" 6-Pin Header – Standard pinout: RTS, RX, TX, 5V, CTS, GND Colour-Coded Wires – Green (RTS) through to black (GND) for easy identification All-In-One Cable – No additional breakout board or USB cable required Pinout Pin 1 (Green) – RTS Pin 2 – RX Pin 3 – TX Pin 4 – 5V (VCC) Pin 5 – CTS Pin 6 (Black) – GND Ideal For Programming Arduino Pro, Pro Mini, and LilyPad boards Serial debugging and communication Connecting TTL-level devices to a computer via USB Tip: This cable uses the RTS signal for reset. If your application requires DTR for hardware reset, consider an FTDI breakout board instead.
