Users appreciate its USB functionality and ease of use. The price is also considered a bargain, and driver installation is straightforward.

    Purchase to connect Industrial control equipment ( PLCs HMI, AFDs, Servos, etc. that only has a RS-232 Port for communications, Use with Windows 7 & 10 without problems. Would have given it a 5-Star rating if it would have had Tx & Rx LED, but that would be a lot to ask for on a low cost unit

    I'm always being asked to connect to devices requiring a serial connection. In today's computers a serial port isn't included and to overcome this a USB to serial converter is required. Most of these install but are difficult to get working. This adapter installed without issue and was up and being used in less than 2 minutes.

    Simple design, but does not include drivers for the latest version of Mac OS (Big Sur or Catalina). Updated drivers not available on the Insignia website, had find company who manufactured this cable for Insignia and get drivers from their website.

    Inexpensive and works perfectly. Many of these do not work properly because they are not wired properly but this works great when a null modem is needed.

    I installed the driver software, connected it to my laptop and the Programmable logic controller and was able to connect and reprogram the controller as needed. One note: I did have to download the driver software online there was no problem finding the software from the manufacturers web site.

    Newer computers do not have a serial port, but I had an old device that only operated on the serial port. If your computer does not have a serial port and you need one for an old device, this adapter will do the job. Plug it into a USB port and connect the other end to your serial device. It is that easy.
