💻 Versatile Plugable USB to Serial Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux - RS-232DB9 Female Connector, Prolific PL2303HX Rev. D Chipset Review

I'm a network engineer. My laptop (like many others) does not have a hardware serial port. This device turns your USB port into a serial port that works flawlessly to connect to Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls. In Windows 8 and 8.1, the drivers for this device will only work if you have a specific chipset. It drove me crazy until I found out what it was.

Great product! ) Condition of this product I was skeptical at first. There is so much information about him on the web that it makes one scratch one's head. I use this cable to connect my Diablosport "Predator" which is a portable auto tuner that connects to your OBD II port and your PC. You can do many things with this device, such as: B.
