Review on πŸ’» Versatile Plugable USB to Serial Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux - RS-232DB9 Female Connector, Prolific PL2303HX Rev. D Chipset by Edward Gordon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Other similar adapters I've bought from places like Fry's and Best Buy have given me problems - .

I am using this adapter to create a console connection between a Windows 7 laptop USB port and a serial port on several HP network switches. I use putty terminal to manage switches. Other similar adapters I bought from places like Fry's and Best Buy gave me problems - basically the Windows 7 operating system didn't recognize the drivers, no matter what I did I couldn't get the operating system to recognize the drivers. I have now bought 4 replacement adapters because they never gave me the problems I had with other brands of this adapter. This is a great product and at a very competitive price. I will not buy these adapters from any other company. Too bad I didn't find them sooner and I could have saved a few hours trying to get less quality products to work.

Pros
  • Sleek and modern design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
