Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the USB to serial functionality, compatibility with various operating systems and devices, and the ease of use of this adapter cable. Many appreciate its quality and durable construction. However, some customers point out that the cable length is short, and that the lack of included drivers may pose a challenge for some users. Overall, the positive feedback on functionality and ease of use outweighs the concerns about cable length and driver support.

    Cable worked perfectly. It is also a good length to reach racked network equipment and still set my laptop in a convenient location.

    needed to get in to some old cisco gear. Laptops don't come with 9 pin connectors any more, so this beauty got the job done.

    You don't see serial cords much any more, but when you do, you need a converter for modern computers. This did exactly what it was supposed to do.

    Old printer, new tower - this was a no brainer. Only issue was need to zip tie connection point to insure no loss of connection when cables were disturbed.
