Needed this for work. Was able to properly configure that tls and get home early because of using this cable instead of going the other route.

Just replaced a computer, and needed this for an old production device that only has a serial input, which few new computers have. Seems to work great, and for a decent price.

I'm rather fond of an older model trackball that I've used for years, which is made in a style that isn't sold anymore. (A large, vertically mounted ball made by Kensington with 2 large buttons on either side of a square base.) Unfortunately this thing is so dated that it's input cable uses a serial connector. Finding a serial to USB connector truly made me happy. I don't have to put up with using a mouse or a newer model trackball mounted horizontally. Best of all, it meant I didn't have to discard a perfectly good peripheral.

Simple to find, install, and use right out of the box. The Best Buy sales team helped me to find the item straight away, and deployment on my camera system was just as simple!

We needed this adapter for a computer upgrade project on a machine at work since not many newer computers have RS-232 series ports these days. Worked perfectly.

We needed a few serial ports to connect to legacy devices on our Win 10 computers. This device is plug and play - quick install and no problems at all.

I use it to interface with older RS-232 units I have. Most modern computers don't even have compatibility with this older connection and this does the job perfectly.

It worked as required, to reconfigure the switch. Exactly what I needed when I needed it. Thanks BestBuy especially since it was a Sunday.
