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 needed this cable to attach an older device to my laptop but I have no idea whether it worked or not. The program I was using required a much slower baud rate that USB operates on and I couldn’t find a way to adjust the rate of the USB port so I was unable to use it. And due to Best Buy’s ridiculous 15 day return policy, it’s too late to return.

    This works well, especially on Windows 10. On Windows 7, you have to manually install the driver.
