Works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well to connect my existing music system to the laptop for version upgrade. It required installing the driver though and did not automatically load the driver. But it was easy to find on google.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I managed to lose a similar one furnished by my company. Half the time it would work properly. Not so with this one. Works to perfection every time. Not everyone needs this type of adapter, but for me it was money well spent.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So very glad Best Buy had this in stock. We bought a new Dell monitor that did not have matching connection for laptop. This was a perfect time saver so we didn't have to start all over with a different monitor.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed the serial connection for some old hardware interfaces at our paint station. Originally I wanted an internal expansion card, but this was cheaper, easier, and didn't need to be special ordered/
I would recommend this to a friendExactly what I needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works perfectly to use an older-style serial port Vag-COM cable for Audi diagnostics on the newer USB ports. Make sure you add the appropriate port as detailed in the instructions.

I would recommend this to a friendSuprised to see Best Buy had these
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was surprised to see that Best buy had these serial to USB cables and that the build quality is pretty good. I thought that I would have to go to a computer specialty shop or order the cable off the internet.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most laptops do not come equipped with a DB9 serial port. I sometimes need to configure professional AV equipment via a console session and this adapter makes that possible.
