Exactly what I needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works exactly as advertised. This is a good quality cable and was kept in stock at my local Best Buy. My girlfriend needed it urgently to replace the old one for her Stenograph machine, and we are very happy with the results. Keep in mind that the length is quite short, so make sure to get the appropriate length for your needs.

Insignia 1.3' USB to RS-232 adapter
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this thinking I needed to use it to access a kernel crash dump; when hooking up a KVM switch to a running system, the newly connected USB ports are not recognized on a VMware ESX server, so the server has to be rebooted to establish connection. You can't login to the server and issue a command to rescan the ports because it is hung in a kernel crash dump. The cable was too short to be able to be used for this application; I could have bought or found an extender cable, but my manager didn't want me touching the systems because they were being used for long running tests, so I returned the adapter. I didn't get a chance to see if it would have had a live connection to the crash dump.

Excellent device
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed to connect some legacy equipment to a newer PC. I was shocked that BB had these in stock in a local store when everyone else that sells them wants to ship it. Worked flawlessly. No installation of external drivers needed, Windows 10 did it all. Perfect solution.
