Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the overall performance and compatibility of the "1.3' USB-to-RS-232 (DB9) PDA/Serial Adapter Cable, with Prolific Chipset". Users appreciate its USB functionality and ease of use. The price is also considered a bargain, and driver installation is straightforward. However, some customers have noted that the cable length is quite short.

    This cable is great for industrial programming when old cables require a serial port and you have a newer laptop with only USB ports.

    This worked as expected. I purchased another brand & had to return it as the screw connections were inverted. This was vie.

    I had a 3.0 and 2.0 USB port on my laptop. This one worked with both but the resolution was only practical with the 3.0 port.

    Most new PCs dont have a COM port so this device comes in handy when I need to setup routers or troubleshoot legacy devices.
