nRF52 Preview DK UART to TTL-232R-3v3

Hello, I am trying to establish a connection between the nRF52 board and the USB serial converter TTL-232R-3v3.

The setup is such that I connect the converter cable to my laptop, run Putty on the COM port for the cable and the other end of the cable is connected to the RX and TX pins of the UART and ground. The RX and TX pins are 8 and 6, respectively (following the UART example). However I do not see anything in the Putty session after connecting the RX and TX cables of the converter to pins 8 and 6. But if I run Putty on the COM port for nRF52 board, I see output as expected only after disconnecting the converter from the board (taking out the connections in pins 8 and 6). I would like to be able to transfer the information in UART to this converter cable and then to the computer. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much
