Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent product could have been a bit longer other than that the design was great!

Needed a serial port, this did the trick! east driver install, worked perfectly.

Great cable I just should have bought a longer one. Did exactly as needed

Overall experience: Mostly positive with a crucial caveat An RS-232 to USB adapter does exactly what it's supposed to: it bridges the gap between older hardware with serial ports and modern computers that only have USB ports. For many users, this is a lifesaver, and the adapter performs reliably. However, the quality of the internal chipset and the included drivers can significantly impact your experience. While most adapters work for simple tasks, buyers should be cautious with cheaper, generic models.

As an Engineer, this was cheap, fast, easy to use for older plc that need rs-232

So..I’m starting to build my lab and needed a console cable for my routers. I originally was looking for a rollover Ethernet cable, but didn’t want to pay $30+ for it or continue to drive around town to different store. Thankfully, I found half of a Ethernet to RS232 at work. From there a quick Google search led me to Best Buy who had an open box for $8 cheaper than original price. Since purchase I have been able to get my routers setup and can focus my attention on purchasing some switches.

This adapter works great! I bought it to connect my laptop to my Ham radio so I can do packet data transmissions. It is working flawlessly and the price was a bargain! I just connected it to my laptop while connected to my home wireless network and the drivers loaded automatically. Easy as pie.

It does the job what it was designed for, converted my old monitor As an add on to the laptop

Cable worked great for it's intended purpose. Would recommend.

It works as expected. It is clean and well made. I'd buy it again.

I needed this for work and it worked. They wouldn't pay for it, so I had to buy one.

The only con i have about this is that it could be longer. If I have to extend it, then I need to get a male to female serial cable, which can be hard to locate today. This cable is purely for connecting a computer (usually a newer laptop) without a serial port to a device which has a serial port for input/output. There are several of these on the market, but can be hard to find locally. This cable does its job, its screw pins are correct to the standard (which sometimes on generic or chinese made cables, are wrong) the screws do not fall off easy (which has always been an issue on serial cables, not just the adapters) and its flexible enough to get into tight spaces. I'm using it with a USB C to USB A adapter on a macbook which only has a USB C cable, and with the proper drivers, it works well on both mac and windows. Works fine for me, just wish i had a longer one.

It's a serial to USB converter cable. Works as advertised.

Works as advertised. Need a way to connect laptop to bell system to program it.

Worked exactly as hoped for, and did infact function with Windows 11. Length of cable being less than a foot was a real disappointment though.

Great quality. Works as advertised. Will pur hase again if needed.

exactly what i needed. worked perfectly for what i needed to do.

Works very well when you have to have serial connection on modern computers.

Used this cable on a Macbook Pro, was a little difficult figuring out the drivers but once I got that firgured out the cable worked great.

Needed this adapter to connect some older serial devices, and it worked right away with no issues. The Prolific chipset is reliable, the build quality feels solid, and the connection is stable. Plug-and-play on my computer with no hassle. Great little cable if you still use RS-232 gear.
