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.

    Ok for some applications, but did not work for ham radio winmax application because handshake lines appear not to be properly Implemented. For that application, FTDI chip in cable is needed.

    This cable works once I installed the driver which did not work from their website as listed in their brochure. I had to go to another website and download their driver, installation was easy then verified communication was established which only took a few minutes.
