About Gearmo
Gearmo is a USA-based company that has spent over 10 years providing advanced engineering and reliable connectivity products built for makers and trusted by professionals, with more than 250,000 units powering projects and installations worldwide. The company focused its product development specifically on the connectivity gap between legacy serial communication standards and modern USB-equipped computers and controllers.
Gearmo's core specialty is USB serial adapters spanning RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 protocols, including mini serial adapters, serial cable adapters, and mountable metal USB serial adapters designed for industrial and panel-mount installations. Many of these adapters use genuine FTDI chipsets with dual-color LED indicators, giving users reliable plug-and-play functionality when connecting legacy DB9 serial devices to current USB systems.
Beyond serial adapters, Gearmo's catalog has expanded to include USB Type-C car chargers, laptop chargers, USB hubs, and cables, extending the brand's connectivity focus into broader accessory categories. The company continues to position its products around industrial and professional reliability rather than general consumer electronics.
