Works perfectly.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is used to connect a barcode scanner to my computer that is 8+ years old. Without any problems it connected and recognized the scanner. I'm happy with the product, especially the part that saved me $100 from buying a new scanner.

Perfect adaptation for the application
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Believe it or not, there is an ocean of equipment in the retro world that requires conversion equipment such as this in order to operate. Having the availability and reliability of such a simple device in hand when needed, is like scoring a golden key to access the forgotten realm of connectivity. I applaud the foresight of those who recognize the critical application of merging simple but effective applications to present technology. It beats the heck out of soldering and jumpers. This device worked well for the application. Keep up the good work!
