Review: Excelente - Excelente
Review: Solid device with FTDI interface, extras included - This product is really nice. Thanks to the FTDI USB interface, it just works with the Linux and Mac machines I tested it with without installing any special drivers (I didn't have access to Windows for testing). I did not test super fast speeds, but the device was solid for moderate speeds like 19.2K and 39.4K. It comes in really nice packaging. Something the product page does not say is that the package also includes a small DB-9 to screw-terminal breakout dongle, which is really helpful when you are running cable from here to there. That saves you the trouble of making a breakout, or paying $7-12 for one on-line. The complaints about no printed documentation included are somewhat legit. There is a mini-CD-ROM included in the package, but since the disk's small form factor won't fit in my CD drive, I have no idea what is on the disk. You can find documentation at the http://www.szutek.cn website, and searching for the product name, UT-890A. It is written in fairly good English, good enough to describe the important information like the product specs, pin-out of the adapter, and basic RS-422/485 network topology. I should also say that at the large organization where I work, we use these in experimental labs with great success.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this item support four wire or only two wire configuration?**
A: Yes, It Supports 2 Wire Semi-duplex  and 4 Wire Full-duplex Operation Maner .

**Q: How long is this cable?**
A: 1500 mm, Thank you!

**Q: Windows 10 compatible?**
A: Hi, it supports Windows 10

**Q: does this work with the behringer dcx2496 ultra-drive pro digital crossover ...**
A: Sorry, I was referring to the electrical wiring part of serial communications, not the software. According to the manual, the dcx2496 also supports RS232. Unless you want to run multiple dcx2496 units from a single computer interface, I suggest getting a USB to RS232 converter, since it should plug right in to the dcx2496 IF (and only if) Behringer has used the commonly accepted method for wiring up an RS232 port. The RS485 port on the dcx2496 uses an RJ45 connector, so you would need another converter from DB9 (F) to RJ45, or you would need to wire up your own connector.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great USB to 485 converter
*by K***R on October 8, 2018*

The UTEK converter cable works perfectly. Just make sure you use the enclosed CD with the latest Driver before you try to use the cable. For the price I would recommend it to anyone that requires communicating through their computer USB terminal.
