great cable, have had it for a year or so, and still going strong, in a wet, humid, lab environment. The price is a bit steep compared to cheaper online options, but well worth it.

I am using this cable to connect a PC to a Kantronics TNC for an amateur radio packet station. If I could improve it at all i would make it a bit longer than 1,3 ft.

I have an older USB to Serial adapter that has no Win10 drivers. I purchased this open box and it works great and was $6 off the regular price. Excellent deal!
