Reliable cable, good value for money

I used this cable to connect my Ubiquiti EdgeRouter to my laptop to access the console. The serial device immediately appeared on my laptop as /dev/ttyUSB0 and I used picocom to communicate with the router console. Everything worked without any problems. The cable also appears to be fairly solid, with good strain relief on the connectors.

Pros
