Opta with Nextion display

Hello, new to Opta but not new to Arduino.

Been working with the Opta lite for a few days now (wish I had purchased the RS485 version).
I'm wondering if I can use the USB-C on the Opta to connect a Nextion display via a USB-C to RS232 adaptor such as the one from Sparkfun FTDI to USB-C Cable - 5V VCC-3.3V I/O - CAB-14909 - SparkFun Electronics
The connection on the Nextion is GND-RX-TX-5V.
I can connect the display to my laptop via USB using a FTDI basic so now I'm wondering....

Thanks
