Review on 🔌 DTECH 6 Feet USB to RS232 DB9 Female Serial Adapter Cable: USB 2.0 for Windows 10 8 7, Mac, Linux (PL2303 Chip) by Avery Sharma

. Bought this cable for my Yaesu FT-450D to connect to my PC to control the rig but it is NOT working. I've just spent a few hours trying to get it working with no success. I bought this cable to replace the Sabrent USB to RS232 (male) cable because the serial port on the radio is a male and I had to use a female to female adapter which means the Sabrent Cable can't be screwed into the radio, so it's not secure. The Sabrent cable has the same pl2303 chip that worked for me but this Dtech doesn't. This means that either the dtech Prolific chip is fake or the end of the db9 cable is not properly secured, which I can't confirm as dtech doesn't list their pins, and neither does sabrent. I just retrieve the cable and again use a sub brand and just tape it to the radio so it doesn't fall out.
