    Bought one at the last minute to troubleshoot a Cisco equipment issue and it worked like a charm. Insignia doesn't have the latest drivers, but you can search "PL2303 RS232 Driver" to hopefully find it on Prolific's site.

    I needed this adapter to configure equipment at my work. It worked great. No issues at all. The cable can be purchased on line for a fraction of the price but I could not wait for shipping. Having to pay the higher price is why I gave 4 stars other then that it is 5 stars.
