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.

    We bought this to connect an old monitor to our new computer. It didn't work. The quality of the image was very poor. We had to buy a different adapter. Pricey.

    Wrong pin pattern. In store salesperson was barely interested in assisting with such a small purchase. 14 day return period too short. Wasted money.

    The device didn't end up taking care of what we needed to do with it. I suspect that all serial-to-usb systems have a hard time working with legacy hardware at some point. It was a wasted $20 but we're keeping it just in case we are able to find a piece of legacy hardware that we're able to use with it. Also, the drivers sucked.

    This cable is okay but has an older chipset. Unfortunately, it was the only one carried in-store.
