There are two types of USB to serial cables. There are those that have all pins connected correctly, and there are those that only connect the pins needed to connect to the serial modem. As for me, I'm a radio amateur and I connected the serial end to a board that needed DTR and RTS to work. He worked with this cable, so apparently all the contacts are soldered. Good to know.
