This USB Type C breakout is kinda interesting, it looks similar to our right angle USB C socket breakout, but it's an 'inline' style with pads for soldering to the connections. We think it could be handy for making custom cable harnesses! Unlike our breakout, it also has the true dual-row USB C connector and all pads broken out. It does not have any resistors to set direction/current - required to have USB C enumerate. It's...

This panel mount cable will allow you to enclose a device that has a USB Micro B port, and also converts it to a modern USB C connector at the same time. Perfect for placing your project in a secure box! One end is a USB Micro B plug connector, and other is a USB C socket with special over-molding. The socket side has two mounting 'ears' with M3 screws installed 20mm apart. Can be used with box walls up to 0.25" wide. If...

Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitters can make your project wiring a breeze - and best of all they work to connect any 802.3af-capable router to any Ethernet device,  even if it doesn't natively support PoE!  The splitter takes a unified PoE signal (data and power) from one RJ-45 cable, and then separates the data (Ethernet) and power (5 VDC regulated) into two different lines for non-PoE devices. This is an...

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...
