USB-C CDC Serial Adaptor with 3-pin SH connector and 10cm cable (compatible with 1mm pitch JST SH).
The supplied 10 cm cable plugs directly into the dedicated UART port on the Raspberry Pi 5 providing quick serial console access. 3-pin cables for the Raspberry Pi Debug Probe can also be used, or additional longer cables can be added to your order as an option.
If additional/longer cables are required please see our 3-pin SH Cables product where you can order the length required.
| Pinout | Description |
|---|---|
| TX | Transmit (connect to remote RX) |
| GND | Ground |
| RX | Receive (connect to remote TX) |
When using with a Raspberry Pi 5 in an official case the cable can exit in the gap at the side of the Ethernet port.

This board can only be used with systems using 3.3 volts, connecting to those using higher/lower voltages may result in damage.
The Serial console is enabled by default on Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm/Trixie) elsewhere it can normally be enabled by adding "enable_uart=1" to the config.txt file in the boot partition.
The IC is used in the adapter enumerates as a Communication Device Class (CDC) device which modern (Win10/Linux/Mac OS X) operating systems have built in drivers for.
