    I needed a cord to plug my monitor into my USB on my MacBook and Best Buy was the only place I could find it in stock the day I needed it. Another reason I love Best Buy!

    My laptop did not have a nine pin connector that I needed for a project, so I had to use a USB serial adapter. This one worked well and was priced right. Highly reccommend.

    This cable got me out of a jam while having to configure a network switch while on the road. Windows picked it up right away and downloaded the driver automatically.

    Can’t do without one of these for gear that still requires RS-232 availability. Works great with Cisco rollover cables. Glad these are still kept in stock here.

    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.
