USB adapter. A USB adapter is a type of protocol converter which is used for converting USB data signals to and from other communications standards. Commonly, USB adaptors are used to convert USB data to standard serial port data and vice versa. Most commonly the USB data signals are converted to either RS232, RS485, RS422 or TTL serial data.
Ethernet cabling connects computers in wired networks, with the RJ45 Ethernet port resembling a standard RJ11 telephone jack on steroids. The adapter might come with software, though most modern operating systems will recognize a USB network adapter and apply the proper drivers upon detection of the device.
