Short cable.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did the job, but kind of short. Would recommend an extension cable as well. Too expensive for what it is.

Going Back to 1980s

Worked perfectly at half off
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Most people don't know the difference between a Serial cable (DB-9) and a VGA cable (DB-15), which means Best Buy will always have a couple of returns that they sell for about half off.

Works Great for the Right Application
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is not a lot to say about this particular product - except that "when you need it, "you need it", so it is nice to have a LOCAL store that stocks such uncommon items!

Easy Fix

Product is efficient enough
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This cord, though low in price, works for non serial port laptops. If you need a high powered connection then you may want to do more research.

Good adapter for usb only computers

Essential console adapter
