Rated 5 out of 5 byModern Treasures from Think about redesigning the case.Works great. The only thing I have problems with is with the rounded end of the actual case doesn't allow it to make good contact and kept vibrating out. I took a file and filed the end of the plastic case flat and have not had a problem since then.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJaYeElLeN1 from Extremely valuableI bought this adapter to use a serial port on my laptop, for use with my weather station with my laptop. It functioned perfectly and allowed me to provide weather information. If your computer has a USB port but lacks an RS232 port then this is for you!

Rated 5 out of 5 byjosh13 from Easy to use, great software interfaceI use this adaptor for interfacing with several devices, such as a range of servo drives, which don't interface with other adaptors easily. This is very easy to set up, the software allows me to change the ports quickly and easily, and it works with everything I need it to.

Rated 5 out of 5 byRetired Apple SW Engineer from Best USB / Serial Adapter Out ThereContrary to other posted comments, this device does work with El Capitan. I have two that are on two different computers (an iMac and a MacBook Pro) that receive daily use. About to purchase a third for a relative to use on a Mac Mini. I've deployed these on several Windows systems too. Absolutely 100% reliable and works without a hitch on both Mac OS X and Windows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by1sfm0rxL041712 from Look no furtherI have used many USB-serial adapters over the years, and this Keyspan product is by far the best. It is the most reliable adapter I have used. I also like the software that comes with it, which allows you to actually see the data that is being transferred through the serial port.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySplitInfinity from One of the most reliable USB to Serial adapters we've seen...I buy these for our techs 5-10 at a time. We've tried a few other USB to Serial adapters, all of which we had issues with. Not the smallest, but these have been rock solid, work every time. The software makes it easy for the user to see what Com port the device is using. The connector is a USB A connector held in by friction, and won't take too much cable weight, but if not put under strain stays in fine - if you swing it around a server room a lot you could add heat shrink, cable ties, or a rubber band to make sure it stays in tight. We've had fewer issues supporting our techs with these than any other adapter. We have over 100 mobile techs around the country and world using them to program routers, or load firmware in various types of devices...

Rated 5 out of 5 byWoody from Communicates Successfully Every TimeI have hundreds of clients who have equipment with which I occasionally I have to communicate. I use an Apple laptop with the latest OS. Because the client's devices use only PC Windows, I use Parallels to convert to the Windows platform. Then I use the Keyspan serial adapter and a special modem to get the signal onto the phone lines. The Keyspan works every time.

I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, with Windows 8.1 running in Parallels. MOST of the AV configuration software is Windows only. This device allows my Virtual Windows PC to talk to an external serial device with this adaptor as if it were all native on it's own machine. Fantastic!

Rated 5 out of 5 byUncle Terry from Rock solid compatablity.I use the 19HS and the 49WG (4 port) with my ham radio gear. I have never had any type of issue where the software did not recognize the adapter as a native serial port. I went through about a half dozen other brands giving me some sort of problem before I found this adapter. The software is also in a class of it's own. I will not buy nor recommend anything else.
