{"product_id":"pl4-dev-09718","title":"FTDI Cable 5V","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe FTDI cable is a USB to Serial (TTL level) converter which allows for a simple way to connect TTL interface devices to USB. The I\/O pins of this FTDI cable are configured to operate at 5V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe FTDI cable is designed around an FT232RQ, which is housed in a USB A connector. The other side of the cable is terminated with a 0.1\" pitch, 6-pin connector with the following pinout: RTS, RX, TX, 5V, CTS, GND (RTS is the green cable and GND is black).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis cable has the same pinout and functionality as our [FTDI Basic Breakout](http:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/commerce\/product_info.php?products_id=9115) board; you can use it to program your [Arduino Pro](http:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/commerce\/product_info.php?products_id=9219), [Pro Mini](http:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/commerce\/product_info.php?products_id=9218) and [Lilypad](http:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/commerce\/product_info.php?products_id=9266). For use with those boards, align the black and green wires of the FTDI cable with the 'BLK' and 'GRN' labels on the PCB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThere are pros and cons to the FTDI Cable vs the FTDI Basic. The FTDI Basic has great LED indicators, but requires a Mini-B cable. The FTDI Cable is well protected against the elements, but is large and cannot be embedded into a project as easily. The FTDI Basic uses DTR to cause a hardware reset where the FTDI cable uses the RTS signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e**Documents:**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e* [How to Install FTDI Drivers](https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/how-to-install-ftdi-drivers)\u003cbr\u003e\n* [FTDI Drivers](http:\/\/www.ftdichip.com\/FTDrivers.htm)\u003cbr\u003e\n* [FTDI Cable Schematic](http:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/datasheets\/DevTools\/FTDI%20Cable%205V.pdf)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PuriLite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39690069770421,"sku":"PL4-DEV-09718","price":52.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/9553\/1701\/products\/09717-01_d3a53570-48b8-44c2-a1df-4dc853a9cc89.jpg?v=1618121287","url":"https:\/\/getcahits.com\/products\/pl4-dev-09718","provider":"PuriLite","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
