Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the overall performance and compatibility of the "1.3' USB-to-RS-232 (DB9) PDA/Serial Adapter Cable, with Prolific Chipset". Users appreciate its USB functionality and ease of use. The price is also considered a bargain, and driver installation is straightforward. However, some customers have noted that the cable length is quite short.

    This works great for connecting my scanner and is a hard part to find. Beware to not confuse this product with being a VGA connector. It looks similar but is the RS-232.

    Sometimes you need an serial connection to make those older peripherals work. Once connected, most function basically. Insignia comes through again.

    This is the basic serial to USB adapter and works well. There were no problems in getting the drivers to load.

    This usb to RS-232 is a great converter in a small package. It allows me to connect a small laptop to a datalogger in the field without issue.

    My technical work implementing embedded firmware for smart UPS devices targeted for military applications required debug of a dual control board system with requirements for multiple RS232 connections for debug (up to six channels). These USB-to-RS232 worked perfectly out of the package and are part of my regular tool-set to do what I do.

    This product allowed us to use older serial fax-modems on modern Windows servers. Well worth the small price. The product did not work as well with older warehouse automation.

    Excellent buy. Will need an USB extender as when working in small spaces there isn't much cord length.
