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 cable allows you to connect a device with an RS-232 (DB9) serial port to a USB hub or USB-equipped PC or Mac. Perfect cable to have on hand when you need to console into a switch or a router.

    I picked this up when I bought an HD OTA antenna. I wanted to make sure I had enough cable length so I could position the antenna for the best reception possible. This worked perfectly and allowed me to place the antenna in a location that enabled me to receive 21 local channels.

    I needed this to hook up an old Wacom tablet. Finding the right drivers and everything I needed to make it work was a bit of a challenge, but I expect that when trying to use an old product on a new system. This was exactly what I needed.

    Really too short

    Although it was the length stated on the box it really is not a convenient length to work with. Your computer has to be positioned right next to the RS233 port of whatever you are working on. No other length was available to buy.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I had an old peripheral that used a DB9 serial cable to connect to the computer and was tired of keeping an ancient computer around just for the device. Fortunately this cable worked like a charm and I was able to hook it up to a USB port with no problems!

    Not the most attractive solution but you aren't likely to find a Serial port on modern computers so this will do the trick. Its nice to see Best Buy carrying something like this in their bricks and mortar locations.
