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.

    Really too short

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    A must have for anyone connecting to older hardware still using rs-232 connections. Drivers are down loadable and if using on Windows 7 or newer, you should already have the drivers installed.

    Good Cable, the length is not an issue for me since it was going to connect to another serial to device cable, it is only about a foot and a half. Windows 10 update device and install drivers just as indicated in the included manual.

    Not a whole lot to it. The standard printer port on my vinyl cutter went out and I needed an adapter to connect to my laptop via USB. I didn't notice any more lag time vs. the original cable. I'm just glad my local BB had this in stock.
