A good tool
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.

Serial Adapter Cable saved the day!
We have an old Casio 'palm pilot' and docking station which was used to sync our business contacts from the Casio to the Computer. The computer died and we needed to be able to sync with our replacement laptop. The cable made the transition from the docking station to the laptop's connection seamless. Great product - with it we were able to transfer all our contacts to the new computer.

Works perfect
I needed this connection cable for a door security program that is on my new laptop. The old laptop had a 9-prong serial port and I didn't need an external cable, the new laptop did not. I am very happy with this cable and it is very secure and holds tight when I carry the laptop all around the building coding doors.

A cable adapter I wouldn't be without
This product was purchased to help my husband download his topographic maps onto his gps. With our desktop computer going down, all we had left was our laptop without a port to support his gps. When my son told me the type of adapter I needed, I was able to search the web and find this DB9 adapter. It was able to be purchased in 2 lengths but the shorter cable worked great with our laptop. My husband was able to once again downloaded his maps and the talk of buying a bigger and better gps was over, saving us hundred of dollars. The cable and adapter was just what was needed to help use his prior gadgets without having to buy new.

This Cable Works With A Zebra LP 2844!
This cable works! I have a older model Zebra LP 2844 thermal label printer with a serial port but no USB port. The cable allowed me to connect the 2844 printer to a Dell laptop or my Apple Mac Mini running Parallels and Windows XP and print shipping labels. Before connecting the cable make sure you use the installation disk and install the driver software first. Then reboot, and then connect the cable and Windows will install it. Then connect the cable to your printer and install your 2844 printer by going to control panel and add new hardware. If your printer happens to be already installed you may have to delete it and reinstall it. When you reinstall it, XP will give you the option of picking which port to install it to. Check to see which port your computer installed the adapter cable on and use that port for your printer installation. On my computer it was COM 3. It is essential you pick the correct port. Note that if you print a test label it may or may not look so great. So if you have a UPS account, go to their website and run through their thermal printer installation process which installs print drivers for the 2844 and an Active X control. Print a test label. The labels will look great!

Hardware Good - Software Bad
I use this product several times a week in my job, and so do some of my coworkers. The product is nice for us because our laptops do not have Serial ports, so we use this product to console into networking equipment.
The biggest issue I have with this product is the drivers for it. I use Windows 7 64-bit and so do my coworkers. This device will almost always (4 out of 5 times) bluescreen my laptop, especially when I'm in debug mode or if I'm receiving a lot of info from the console. I have tried the last three versions of the drivers and none of them have helped the bluescreen issues.
CablesToGo: Please, PLEASE fix the issues this device has with Windows 7 64-bit. If a new driver is not released soon, my coworkers and I will have to find a more compatible product.

I utilize it at home to practice with my Cisco 851W router and at work to configure the Cisco 2960/G switches in the infrastructure. It works great every time and connects just as it would if attached to a real serial port.

Supports Full Handshaking
One of its strongest features is the "prolific" driver it ships with. It suppports "full hardware handshaking" (which many other USB/Ser converters DON'T) as well as 7 bit data which is also sometimes a problem with other converters. This is the only one I use and it works in EVERY situation I've run across which has not been my experience with other converters.

The only negative comment I can make is that it did not come with software drivers. My Vista Home Premium machine was able to find the driver for me online as part of the "found new hardware process, however I feel that someone other than a "power user" may have not been successful at that point and would have needed support. All in all a great product however and I continue to be happy to do business with this company.

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.

Doesn't support higher voltage RS232
product fails to communicate with older devices that have higher RS232 signal levels. This device has a TX signal level of about -6.4 volts. Older devices range from -10 to -12 volts. The signal level in the older devices appears to hang the hardware and then the Windows Device driver as well. Works well with newer device that have compatible signal voltage levels.

Great device.
Using on piece of equipment that wouldn't work with Windows 10. Didn't want to replace old equipment because of cost, This works great!

USB Serial DB9 to USB
I have a windows vista lap top, I was concerned if the vista would support the cable. I loaded the drivers from the included CD and presto it works great. Just what I needed it to do. So as we know the USB is the in thing, this cable will bring you up to par that works.

64 bit drivers cause BSOD
Like someone else stated, the 64 bit drivers (version 3.0.2) are unreliable, they cause a blue screen of death with multiple-IRP_complete_requests error and this happens at 115.200 bps. The other user had the same problem at a slower speed. This problem makes the product unusable on 64 bit operating systems.

Only worked part of the time for me
This cable worked but then the device I was using it with hung. An alternative cable worked 100% of the time. The device was a serial scale.
Further this cable has no ability to screw into mounted posts. The screws are embedded in the molded plastic which was a problem for me. I had to take out the posts on the connecting device.

Great product.
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.

Can't ask for more.
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!

works like a dream
Used to convert roller mouse from old computer to new laptop. Worked just as avertized. All i had to do was plugin and let computer find drivers, was working within 3 minutes. Much more enjoyable than finger pad that came with new computer. Very happy with this buy.

Unreliable with Win764
Does not work reliably with Win7-64bit on laptop but seems to work ok on our Win7-64 bit desktop. Don't know what the difference could possily be. Runs about a minute and then gets hung up. Cables TO GO has indicated several times they;re trying to get this fixed. Running 2400/8/1/N so not pushing the speed barrier at all! Driver on CD is late 2010 and not up to date. Use the driver on the website. We've been trying for months to get something that will work reliably on WIN764.

Great little Cable
I needed a adapter for a time clock at our business. The time clock had a serial interface and our new computer that was installed didn't come with one. This cable worked and is a steady work horse. My only complaint is if the computer isn't restarted every three months or so Windows gets confused with the port.
Great overall product.

64 bit drivers don't work
This works great as long as you are on XP 32-bit. If you are on a 64-bit machine it will BSOD your box when you run at a speed of 19200. No matter what I plug it into, speed 19200 works for about 1 min then I get a BSOD with Multiple_IRP_Request errors.

Now useless with windows 7/10 64bit
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.

Fantastic product..very reliable
We use this product to connect lab equipment with serial ports to a laptop. This allows the equipment to communicate with the computer so data can be collected via our computer program.
The only problem is I have to keep buying them, because they tend to walk off with visitors. This is the only brand I recommend to customers and colleagues.

Excellent choice for a modern laptop with no RS-232.
We frequently need to connect to a wide variety of equipment via an RS-232 console connection from a laptop. While older laptops often had such interfaces, most current models do not. This handy device does the trick. So long as you've installed the driver before plugging it in, the experience is flawless.
