Review on DTECH 10ft USB 2.0 to RS232 DB9 Serial Port Adapter Cable with FTDI Chipset - Compatible with Windows 10, 8, 7, Mac, Linux by Chris Barreto

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice and long so I can avoid the hot air from the servers.

I use them to run the console on network switches and older servers. They work better than my old ones that had a performance chipset (sometimes they weren't recognized anymore). I bought two of these and am using one on COM1 and one on COM3 so I can have two consecutive putty sessions open at the same time when setting up two swirches with VSS, VPC etc. I like that they are longer than my old ones so I don't have to stand directly behind the servers in the rack.

Pros
  • DB9-USB 10 pin male to USB A male gold-plated 9 pin male adapter uses crystal clear blue color, enriches the injection, strong and beautiful; active pins: 2 (RXD), 3 (TDX), and 5 (GND)
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
