Simple and easy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t require a separate serial cable like some other adapters, so as long as youre okay with it being relatively short, it works perfectly. I have it connected to an old analog switch device that uses rs232 for control and it didn’t have any issues.

Needed this for my job to configure equipment
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Easy to use, worked well.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to connect to the console port of a firewall. It worked fine for my purposes, but since I purchased an open box version the pins were slightly bent when I received it so I had to nudge them straight before I could use it. I would have given 4 stars regardless just because these are a a dime a dozen and there isn’t anything that particularly stands out about this one to warrant a 5 star review.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The insignia USB to Serial connection worked really well as long as you know how to change the port in Device manager to match what peripheral and software requires you to use.
