Description USB to TTL cable - PL2303 TA
The USB to TTL cable is the easiest way to connect to the serial console port of e.g. a microcontroller or Raspberry Pi . Inside the USB plug is a USB <-> serial conversion chip. At the end of the cable are four wires. Red for power, black for ground, white for RX in and green for TX out. The power pin provides 5V at 500mA directly from the USB port. The RX/TX pins are 3.3V for interfacing with most common chipsets.
Thanks to the loose pin plugs, the USB to TTL cable is ideal for connecting and connecting to the debug / login console on eg . the Raspberry Pi . You connect the pins as shown to power the Pi and set up the RX / TX link.
If you are using Windows 7/8/10, etc., check out this tutorial page with links to drivers for both PL2303 and CP2102
If you are using Mac OS X, check out this tutorial page with links to drivers for both PL2303 and CP2012
When you use Linux, drivers are already included in the kernel, no need to install anything !
Also useful for hacking WiFi routers to install alternate OS's or almost any other 3.3V logic serial port . This is easier to use than an FTDI cable in many cases because the wires are separate . Keep in mind that this is called a "TTL cable" but technically it is CMOS logic .
