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.

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.

This USB to serial adapter saved my trip to a test house when the one I took broke, It installed easily and worked as a drop in replacement for a piece of software design using the previous converter. This is now the go to adapter.

I purchased two of these, because I needed to link some old tech to some new tech. I was surprised my local store had these in stock, but I'm glad they did. They performed exactly as expected.

I work in IT and need to connect to the serial port of the devices, as well as connect to my Davis weather station from my Macbook. I was able to download the Windows and Mac drivers and this worked as it was supposed to...no headaches.

I needed this to configure an old Serial device that I could not interface with any other way I tried. Even previous versions of this same type of device would not work with Windows 10, but this cable worked exactly as advertised with no fuss.

Cables like these are the only way to get 20+ year old technology to work with new computers. Didnt need to install any drivers to get it working with OSX Mojave!

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!

Works great and as described. Had to replace an older model that we had for years. Glad to get an updated item that did not need a disc to load up before using.
