Review on C2G Cables 22429 Serial Adapter by Brandon Pratt

I wish I had read more negative reviews or activated my Fakespot when I made the purchase. Plug adapters must have knurled screws since sockets have threaded lugs. You cannot use it to connect to a printer or other device because the solid pins on it press against the socket pins on the device. You cannot remove the pins from the devices as they usually hold the connector to the case. When they are removed, the connector falls inward and is inaccessible. Without an adapter (and why then this cable at all) it is absolutely useless. The only way to use it alone is to cut off the protrusions. This is similar to the way people used to draw animals before they saw them in real life - a picture of a tiger looking like some kind of weird werebeast. It's like they heard a description of serial cables, then designed them without seeing or using them, and then shipped them out without testing them.
