## Description

Just about all electronics use a UART serial port with RX and TX pins for debugging, bootloading, programming, serial output, etc. But it's rare for a computer to have a serial port anymore. Thus, a serial cable is an essential part of any electrical engineer's toolkit.

This is a USB C to TTL serial cable with an **FTDI FT232R** usb/serial chip embedded in the head. It has a 6-pin socket at the end with 5V power and ground, as well as RX, TX, RTS and CTS at 3V logic levels. Useful whenever you want to communicate with a TTL serial device such as an [Arduino Pro Mini](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=pro%20mini) or [ESP breakout](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=huzzah%20breakout), and the pinout will match up exactly to any 'FTDI' 6-pin header.

The version Adafruit have is the **3.3V Power / 3.3V Logic**. The data signals are at 3V and the power line provides 3V as well. We suggest this for any product that needs FTDI cables and **draws less than 50mA from the 3V power pin**. Because the cable is 5V-logic compliant, you can use it with 3V or 5V logic just fine - no level shifting required!

If you have a device that has 5V logic and requires higher current 5V power, you should check out the [FTDI friend](https://core-electronics.com.au/ftdi-friend-extras-v1-0.html).
