Coupled with an ASCII Capture program, this adapter works perfectly!

I purchased this UART converter cable to connect to two new HP 1950 12XGT switches via their console ports. It will not connect from my laptop to either of them, connecting this adapter cable to the serial to RJ45 console cable that came with the devices. I cannot say that the adapter cable is bad, because it might just be an HP serial cable pinning issue, so I will not return it. Hopefully that is the case, because if I knew the cable was bad for sure, I would return it. Since serial connections are SO obsolete, I have nothing to test this cable with, so I am stuck I guess.

I needed a serial to usb adapter for configuring cisco routers. This product worked great, good instructions for install and configuration. My only hold back is they send a CD with the driver software, luckily I happen to have an older external drive, but it would be a lot easier if there was a link to download the driver. Otherwise good product. Recommended.

I have this cable for a really long time. It used to work fine but as new driver updates were released, it started to get less and less support for my need. I used to utilize this adapter to program radios, home automation devices and many other utilities like reverse engineer rs232 protocols but now it is useless. Some of my software do seem to work only one way (transmit PC to device but from device to PC, no response. Some other sofware does not even connect and only 2 out of 8 software/utilities I use work now with this cable. Even though the driver are windows 10 certified, that thing does NOT work. If you plan to use this for speciality products, DO NOT buy this adapter. The ONLY way have been able to make this cable work under windows 7/10 is to install an old 2008 driver v3.3.2.102. With THAT driver, absolutely no issue, it works like a charm. This is the ONLY driver that works with ALL my programs. If you have difficulties like me with speciality products, you absolutely need to try the driver v3.3.2.102, I am pretty sure it WILL work but as new driver will be release, windows always find a way to update it even if I have put the ID product NOT to upgrade. So each time I get a window update, the driver gets override EVEN though I said windows NOT to upgrade this particular device. Construction of product is OK. Was worth it when it did work but now with no response from anybody I try to send this information, I get no support back, it is useless even though the electronics inside are still good. Driver issue.

New PC's do not have serial ports. I had a legacy special device that needed serial on a new Windows 10 workstation. This was perfect solution.

Laptops/computers have all swung over to newer/faster USB format; however, there is still a need to connect to devices having the older style DB9 / 25 serial port connection. In my case, I needed to connect my new computers to an external Terminal Node Controller (TNC) for packet communications. These USB/DB9 serial adapters allow me to make the connections.

I'm an electronics system technician and I use this adpator to service more than 350 pieces of equipment. I use this adpater with Vista Business edition and a 3.0 USB port. It works great. I also like the that the length of the cable is longer than my old 2.0 adapter. No cons.

I transfer data from 9 pin devices to computer. Cable works with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit as advertised. Set up was easy. I plugged it in. Device was recognized by computer and was ready to go. This cable does what I expected.

I needed to replace the adapter that went missing. Tried other brands. After multiple downloads and installations, could not get a connection to my controller. I was beginning to think my controller was the problem. C2G installed, loaded drivers, BINGO! Back in business. Now I can change controller settings again for my electric motorcycle. Thanx C2G.

Connects my old handheld GPS unit to new computer. Quality materials used and well constructed adds up to consistent and sustainable connection.

I was skeptical to buy this product b\c many reviews stated the drivers didn't work with the 64 bit version of Windows 7, which is what i'm running on my laptop that I use to configure devices. Not sure why the drivers didn't work for others but it works on my 64 bit version of windows perfectly.

I needed a replacement for my DB9 that no longer works with the new Windows7 laptops. This USB to DB9 is the bomb. Loaded the drivers, stuck it in the USB port, connected to the Cisco console cable, and voila! It's a beautiful thing!

Am using this device to connect between several networking hardware serial ports (a.k.a. "Console Management" connections and a USB-only laptop running Vista and PuTTY. Can't say if this product would be suitable for ALL serial-to-USB applications ... ... but in THIS particular application, the device installed easily and w/o incident the first time; and has operated flawlessly since the first "connect" attempt.

THE PRIMARY USE IS TO CONNECT TO LEGACY EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT ETHERNET CAPABLE, REPLACING THE 9 PIN D CONNECTOR THAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ON LAP TOPS.

A must for Data collection devices using RS232/Serial port when PC does not come with Serial Port. Driver installation that came with CD will fail (Windows XP). Installation utility downloaded from Web worked with no glitch.
