Revainrating 4 out of 5

Notable improvement over Keyspan for certain applications.

Used Tripp Lite Keyspan serial to USB adapter in my observatory. They're good, but not good enough for several major imaging devices. Not Keyspan's fault. I ran into a bug and decided I needed a more specialized way of customizing serial devices. It worked great! I run it remotely via an Icron (LAN) USB extender a few hundred yards from home. My hardware dictated that I should use a special "card" but working with a laptop made this impossible. So I got this and it solved all my connection problems. And I run it without an external power supply.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Some little things
