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.

    I was surprised that BestBuy has this dinosaur available, but I needed one in a hurry, and it came with drivers. Another reason that I spend a lot of my tech dollars here.

    This adapter works well for a modern computer that does not have a serial port for programing routers and switches through the console port. Make sure you download the driver from the manufacturer.

    The Signia serial adapter cable is the only one that I found that would allow us to connect to the computer to program our radio. Well worth the investment.
