Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this to connect to the console port of a firewall. It worked fine for my purposes, but since I purchased an open box version the pins were slightly bent when I received it so I had to nudge them straight before I could use it. I would have given 4 stars regardless just because these are a a dime a dozen and there isn’t anything that particularly stands out about this one to warrant a 5 star review.

Works really well also store service was amazing..

Doesn’t require a separate serial cable like some other adapters, so as long as youre okay with it being relatively short, it works perfectly. I have it connected to an old analog switch device that uses rs232 for control and it didn’t have any issues.

I still use some older data logging devices with the multi-pin cable. But it's difficult to find/keep a laptop that has the "other end". I am using legacy software on a newer laptop and needed to bridge the device cable to my "ultrabook" laptop (only USB). Thankfully, this cable did the job and I can continue to use the data loggers/software (which do exactly what I need done and I don't need newer "upgraded" units).

Worked great and quality is great. Very easy to use and no setup.

I purchased this and it worked with my windows 8.1 laptop without any more effort than to plug it in. My previous one i purchased from best buy worked but i had to reinstall the drivers everytine i wanted to use it unless i shuty laptop down then pulled it out and plugged it in the same usb port and turned back on. I have used this with several console connections to many devices has yet to fail. My previous one did finally fail i am thinking from a windows update.

The insignia USB to Serial connection worked really well as long as you know how to change the port in Device manager to match what peripheral and software requires you to use. Very simple in nature without bulky software needs. just what i needed for my it work

We have a Legacy Paxar printer connected with an RS232 null modem cable. When we upgraded the PC, we need a USB adapter. As soon as I plugged it in, it worked great. Right out of the box it assigned a Com port and I configured the communications settings and it started printing right away

Needed a serial to USB converter to download survey dat from an old Sokkia data collector. Works perfectly.

Great item. Worked perfectly for what we needed. We used it for the scoreboard to hook up with the laptop for our pinewood derby

This worked perfectly with my Win10 laptop. Just plug and play. No issues

Cable serves it purpose. Quality is great.easy to use.

I bought this adapter because I had a piece of gear that was finicky about which adapter it would work with. The other reviews gave me hope that it would work, and it worked perfectly. I tried it on a Toshiba laptop running Windows 8.1 and a desktop running Windows 7. It worked with both without a problem.

Easy to install on my Dell laptop with Win7 64bit. Driver installed automatically. I didn't need a CD

Works well with my acer laptop glad I purchased from Best Buy purchased same product somewhere else before this and it stopped working!! Best Buy is quality!!

Was able to use my cisco console cable and connect to a cisco voice gateway with ease

i use it to connect my celestron telescope to my laptop .does what it claimed. happy with the purchase

Needed this to communicate with some old switches and it just worked. FYI, I just searched on the web for the driver.

It did the job. Could have used a longer cord and it's uncommon to need something like this, but it worked..

Probably not going to be an out of the box solution for you but if you use the part number that comes with the paperwork you can download and install the appropriate driver. Works great with my Cisco console cable.
