The I/O pins of this FTDI cable are configured to operate at 5V.</p><p>The FTDI cable is designed around an FT232RQ, which is housed in a USB A connector. The other side of the cable is terminated with a 0.1" pitch, 6-pin connector with the following pinout: RTS, RX, TX, 5V, CTS, GND (RTS is the green cable and GND is black).</p><p>This cable has the same pinout and functionality as our&nbsp;FTDI Basic Breakout&nbsp;board; you can use it to program your&nbsp;Arduino Pro,&nbsp;Pro Mini&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lilypad. For use with those boards, align the black and green wires of the FTDI cable with the 'BLK' and 'GRN' labels on the PCB.</p><p>There are pros and cons to the FTDI Cable vs the FTDI Basic. The FTDI Basic has great LED indicators, but requires a Mini-B cable. The FTDI Cable is well protected against the elements, but is large and cannot be embedded into a project as easily. The FTDI Basic uses DTR to cause a hardware reset where the FTDI cable uses the RTS signal.</p><p>Item Specifics<br> 0.1" pitch <br>6-pin connector<br>Pinout: RTS, RX, TX, 5V, CTS, GND (RTS is the green cable and GND is black)</p>
