Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the USB to serial functionality, compatibility with various operating systems and devices, and the ease of use of this adapter cable. Many appreciate its quality and durable construction. However, some customers point out that the cable length is short, and that the lack of included drivers may pose a challenge for some users. Overall, the positive feedback on functionality and ease of use outweighs the concerns about cable length and driver support.

    I had an old analytical balance that I needed to connect to a new computer that didn't have RS232 port. Just have to search a little for the drivers.

    Definitely overpriced, but it is buying a cable at bestbuy. Cable worked great for the purpose and I was fine with paying the premium as I needed it the same day for work while out of town. It is really short though, so ensure you have the two items close.

    This review is kind of a " no brained", I didn't have to do much research - knew the connections I needed and asked the salesperson which one was best! While the others weren't tested - this one works perfectly and it was reasonably priced for our needs.

    I bought this to connect our Fire Department Pager Programmer. This was to replace an out of date Radio Shack part we had that would not work with the current versions of Windows. I plugged the parts together and presto everything was working and we were back in business.

    Needed a USB to serial adapter for my work computer. The old one I had wouldn't work with 8.1. This one does. It didn't list 8.1 on the package, but I was desperate so I figured I would try it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised when it initialized without incident.

    The cord was the correct size and fit perfectly, just would have liked a little bit more length on it. Outside of that, I can't complain about my purchase my projector is working just fine and for a good price.

    I used this product to connect to an older scale for our Laboratory. I had already tried an older USB to Serial cable from another vendor and it didn't work, but this one connected right up and allowed me to use the scale even though it doesn't have a newer interface.

    I've installed a few of these on Windows 10 systems for older connections requiring a serial port. I've not had any problems. Drivers auto-install and all that's left is to confirm the assigned serial port (can be changed if needed).

    I purchased this cable because I could not find it anywhere else locally. I was concerned it would not work. It worked perfectly. The only reason I gave it a four star rating was because it was a little short, as a result I had to purchase a longer USB extender.

    This is a great adapter cable. I plugged one end in the USB port of my laptop and the other into the serial port of the other device and all the ones and zeros travel the whole length of this awesome cable and super stuff happens the way it needs to!
