The best and easiest solution. Works on MAC, Linux and even Windows without drivers. Just plug it in and everything works. On Linux it just shows up as /dev/tty/USB0, I'm not sure how it shows up on Windows or MAC as I don't use them, but my co-workers do and I've lent them mine and every one works In addition, no long cables have to be carried along. This thing is tiny! If you work with routers, switches, multiplexers, etc., do yourself a favor and order two. And no, I don't work for the…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • For old

Doesn't work for Ecotron's fuel injection ECU

This doesn't work for Ecotron's fuel injection ECU. Ecotrons sells their own RS232 adapter for $50 and looks the same as the other options including this one. Instead of being derailed by Ecotron's prices I bought this adapter, not bueno. However, this works for the Innovate MTX-L Plus broadband O2 sensor. I installed Windows 8 64 bit.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I'm worried

Chipset FTDI DOA and no return.

FTDI chipset keeps getting blocked by Win 10 even using the drivers that came with it or the latest drivers from the TeraGrand website. I know how to get Windows 10 to accept the serial adapter port and even that didn't work. I tried it on another computer; I followed all the steps with no deviation, same results. I got tired in two virtual machines - Win 7 and Win XP and still didn't work. I believe the chipset in it is DOA. When I wanted to return it he said they don't accept returns. So, I…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • No form required

Buy, buy, buy for computers and accessories

Excellent converter. It is equipped with a wonderful authorized FTDI chip. I followed the interactive instructions to install the Tera Grand driver using the included WinXP CD. These online step-by-step instructions were almost perfect, except I had to let WinXP find the drivers on the CD instead of trying to do it manually. I have used a serial null cable adapter to successfully connect to Pira. PCB RDS to BWBroadcast TX300V2. I later used a straight-to-serial cable adapter to successfully…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

However I find it useful in production

I bought this for a very specific purpose in a production environment so I could connect some of our robot controllers on my laptop which normally require RS232 cables. . This allows me to use the controllers on my new laptop or use them if the controller was compatible. However, I find it useful for plants. I definitely find it handy when you need something like that. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that it doesn't have a plastic cover on either side to protect the contacts when you're…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish

Look no further - this is what you should buy!

If you need a USB to serial port adapter, I recommend you just buy this adapter and that's it. I use these adapters a lot and the ones based on the PL2303 chipset are a hassle as it's almost impossible to find working drivers. This works fine on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. Drivers that actually work can be easily downloaded from http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm. Vista Windows Vista x64 Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2003 x64 Windows XP Windows XP x64 Windows ME Windows 98 Linux…

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Damaged

Works great, very portable

I bought this to connect to my Cisco routers and switches using Putty on Win 8. It worked great. I didn't need a hard drive or anything like that. It just worked right out of the box. I was concerned knowing several people had issues with Win 7 drivers, so I did a little research before settling on this one. I bought it for convenience. It has no cord and is therefore very easy to carry around in your laptop bag. Five stars because this product does exactly what I wanted and it's small and…

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • unreliable

Good build quality and works well.

I received the item on time with Prime as expected. For some reason the driver CD didn't come up with what could have happened. I'll be contacting the seller about the CD and if I don't get it right I'll deduct a star or two depending on customer service. If you're like me on the road and sometimes need to use multiple laptops that don't even have an internet signal, it's important to have a driver CD handy. To solve this problem I just went to their website and downloaded the driver and…

Pros
  • Computer cable adapter
Cons
  • No instructions
