- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2023Size: 10 ftStyle: ThumbscrewsVerified PurchaseBought a couple of these cables for my boss to use at work on his old Windows XP system.
We use them to communicate with a few of our vinyl plotters (Gerber) and they work flawlessly.
There was 1 small problem with the driver though, they require that you download it. However, the ones they have are not compatible with XP, so I had to find an older version of the driver. It did take a little bit of time to track one down.
Drivers for Windows 7, 8,10 etc. are easily obtainable.
These work as good as the cards you would need to buy for the newer systems, as they don't come with RS232 Serial Ports these days. so these cables are probably the better investment.
Definitely less expensive.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2023Size: 6 ftStyle: ThumbscrewsVerified PurchaseThese are great. I use them to run my ham radio rigs via the PC. They handle the max baud rate of the radio rigs fine, work fine with Windows 11 and have a non-weird chip set - no driver worries! Dead simple to use - true plug and play. The only caveat is that all of my ham radio rigs all have male serial port plugs on them and this adapter has a male plug. This necessitates a straight through gender changer, so I keep some of those on hand, as I've never found these USB to Serial Port adapters with the female plug. Otherwise, these are perfect!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024Size: 6 ftStyle: ThumbscrewsVerified PurchaseNeeded an old school 9 pin vga cable to add in an older vga monitor. This cable worked perfectly. Well made and inexpensive, with fast shipping.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2019Size: 3 ftStyle: Hex Jack NutsVerified PurchaseI wanted to give this thing 3 stars, but that would not be fair. Mostly that has to do with my frustration from the physical format of thing - which is clear in the photo that I did not pay attention to.
1) It's short. 3 feet is not enough for most uses, be aware of that
2) Most frustrating. The DB9 end has female screw holes, not male screws. And they are not removable. Yes, just like in the photo. But this means I could not connect it to any serial port on any piece of gear I have. Why would you make it that way?? I had to buy a serial extension cable with male fasteners on each end just to use this.
On the bright side, it needed no installation under Windows 10 and seems to work like a charm. There is a tiny driver CD_ROM what comes with it, I did not need it.
Electrically this works very well, just don't overlook the physical limitations - like I did.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2024Size: 3 ftStyle: Hex Jack NutsVerified PurchaseUsed this to connect Innovate dual LC-2 serial to my HP laptop USB running Windows 11 Home version. This cable worked right out of the box with NO driver download.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2024Size: 3 ftStyle: Hex Jack NutsVerified PurchaseKeep this short and sweet.
My existing USB-A to RS-232 (db9) cable would not work or be recognized under Windows 11. The drivers for the chipsets used in the cable were not updated by the vendor for whatever reason. Maybe to sell new cables, who knows.
Time for an upgrade. Purchased this cable and it was plug and play, no problems.
I use the cable for programming radio scanners that listen to public safety.
This cable was for an older radio that uses a little older programming interface.
No problems experienced to date. Have used the cable a couple of times.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019Size: 6 ftStyle: ThumbscrewsVerified PurchaseFor a serial connection to a headless server, JBOD, etc. this is great. You just have to know what you are getting into:
For me it works fine with no need for drivers in OSX High Sierra using the 3rd party Serial app.
The play is to get one of these and then adapters for various use cases. Some use RJ11 for serial, some RJ45, and the pin outs are NOT universal. There’s no one size fits all! So, it’s critical to be aware of the required pin out before getting the second piece of the puzzle. If you don’t know what that is it might be wise to get one of the reconfigurable serial plugs that are plentiful on amazon.
In my case with a couple of different desired connections and infrequent use I thought the two piece solution with adapters would be best so I could mix and match.

Size: 6 ftStyle: ThumbscrewsVerified PurchaseSi te encuentras con el caso de que sea un puerto serie macho, tienes un problema. Añadirle uno no le costaria a la marca tan apenas nada, y evitaría disgustos, solo por eso no le doy las 5 estrellas, por lo demás, funciona como se espera.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed with non functional device
Size: 6 ftStyle: ThumbscrewsVerified PurchaseNot functional. Loaded latest driver fron net. When connecting to laptop, pc responds that usb device malfunctioned. In uiversal serial bus controller under Device properties, it shows unknown device. Tried alloptions under document.
Wanted to have stable usb to serial convertor against Cadyce Ca-US9 and i paid thrice the cost for this Tera Grand considering FTDI chipset is more stable than Prolific chipset
I am very much dissapointed with this product.
I tried again and again three days and i tried other laptops also
