Review on πŸ”Œ USBGear RS-232 USB to Serial Adapter Cable with DB-9 Male Connector for Windows and Mac by Bohyun Hansen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for Win7 64-bit

Plugged it into my system and it worked like a champ. Before using the adapter, you must disable "Windows Update". start menu. For Windows 7, you do not need the mini CD-ROM that came with the adapter. Run Windows Update twice because Microsoft wants to install two things. - FTDI - Other Hardware - USB Serial Port - FTDI - Other Hardware - USB Serial Converter After installing these two software updates, you can use the adapter. .This unit also came with a very well shielded USB extension cable. I use it for a very old Garmin GPS device. The Garmin software found the serial port very easy.

Pros
  • High test scores for support and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
