The serial to USB cables I tried was: Desktops/servers etc., use the RS232 standard for their serial ports. Embedded X86 boards can use RS232 or RS422, or occasionally other standards. These use ±12V levels, referenced to ground for RS232, and floating in pairs for RS422. The embedded development boards we use bring out the UART pins directly, without an RS232 or RS422 driver, so they are at whatever voltage the UART chip runs at, using gound as a reference. Usually, that's 1.8V, 3.3V or 5V. Your typical FTDI cable will talk one of these.
