INFORAD USB to UART Bridge Controller (COM5) Driver

The INFORAD USB to UART Bridge Controller (COM5) driver allows Windows to recognize the Inforad USB interface as a serial port, enabling compatible software to communicate with the connected device. You may need it when setting up your Inforad hardware, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a missing or unrecognized COM port.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Provides the interface needed for compatible applications to exchange data with Inforad hardware over USB.
• COM port access: Makes the controller available through a Windows serial port. Although this device is listed as COM5, Windows may assign a different port number on your computer.
• Support for listed Windows systems: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the compatibility requirements of the individual driver package.
• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the USB-to-UART controller correctly instead of leaving it listed as an unknown device or with a missing-driver warning.

How to Install INFORAD USB to UART Bridge Controller (COM5) Driver

1. Check your system. Confirm your Windows version and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. For Windows 10/11 systems, check compatibility carefully: Windows 10 is listed as supported, but Windows 11 support is not confirmed here.
2. Choose the matching package. Before starting your INFORAD USB to UART Bridge Controller (COM5) driver download for Windows, verify the package’s supported operating systems and device information. If several releases are available, choose the latest version compatible with your hardware and Windows edition.
3. Prepare the files. Obtain the driver from a trusted source and extract it if necessary. A free download should still be checked for authenticity; avoid unrelated driver-updater utilities.
4. Install the driver. Follow the included setup instructions. If no installer is provided, open Device Manager, locate the controller, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify the connection. Restart if prompted, then check Device Manager for the assigned COM port and any warning icons. Select that same port in your compatible Inforad software.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connection problems or supports changes to your system. Before an update, review the package notes and retain the previous installer so you can restore a working setup if needed.
