    Great adapter!

    This adapter works great! I bought it to connect my laptop to my Ham radio so I can do packet data transmissions. It is working flawlessly and the price was a bargain! I just connected it to my laptop while connected to my home wireless network and the drivers loaded automatically. Easy as pie.

    Surprised and grateful to find this product

    So..I’m starting to build my lab and needed a console cable for my routers. I originally was looking for a rollover Ethernet cable, but didn’t want to pay $30+ for it or continue to drive around town to different store. Thankfully, I found half of a Ethernet to RS232 at work. From there a quick Google search led me to Best Buy who had an open box for $8 cheaper than original price. Since purchase I have been able to get my routers setup and can focus my attention on purchasing some switches.

    This cable does not output a video signal. You need something called a VGA. It looks like a serial cable like this, but it has more pins.
