RDC USB to UART Bridge (COM6) Driver

The RDC USB to UART Bridge (COM6) driver enables Windows to communicate with Radio Data’s USB-to-UART bridge, allowing compatible serial software to exchange data with connected UART equipment. You may need it when setting up the adapter for the first time, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a missing or unrecognized serial connection.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Provides the driver interface needed for applications to access UART equipment through a USB connection.
• COM port access: Lets compatible terminal, configuration, and diagnostic tools use the adapter as a Windows serial port. Although this device is labeled COM6, Windows may assign a different port number.
• Legacy Windows support: Listed supported systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your Windows version and system architecture.
• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the bridge correctly when the appropriate driver is missing or has been replaced by an incompatible package.

How to Install RDC USB to UART Bridge (COM6) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, check the adapter’s hardware IDs if you need to verify which package matches it.
2. Select a compatible package. Before choosing an RDC USB to UART Bridge (COM6) driver download for Windows, review the supported operating systems and hardware identifiers. Look for the latest version compatible with your setup, rather than assuming the newest package supports every system.
3. Download and prepare the files. Use a trusted source for a free download, scan the downloaded file, and extract the archive if necessary. Avoid unrelated installers or bundled utilities.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied setup program if available and follow its instructions. Otherwise, open Device Manager, right-click the adapter or unidentified device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, then check Ports (COM & LPT) in Device Manager. Select the assigned COM port in your serial application and use the communication settings required by the connected equipment.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem or supports a system change. For Windows 10/11 users, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed here; verify it before attempting an update. If the connection already works reliably, review release notes before replacing the installed driver.
