The FTDI chip null modem cable is a modern replacement for the traditional serial null-modem cable. It allows a user to connect two PCs using their USB ports. The user can then perform file transfers between the PCs via the USB interface. This cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, encapsulated into the USB connector at both ends of the cable. The electronic is based on the FTDI FT232R USB to serial UART IC and it handles all the USB signalling and protocols. This cable is a USB powered with 2.0 full speed compatible and 2.5m cable that supports data transfer rate up to 3Mbaud at TTL levels.
