Works great

Review by Peg D.

My used amateur radio equipment digital interface came with an old serial to USB cable that had a fake PL2303 chip, so I had to replace it since those don't work with the current drivers. This cable works great. Solved a bunch of problems I was having.

Works fine, but poor mechanical connection

Review by Amazon user

This cable works fine with my Mac, but I had a problem with the mechanical connection. There are no screws on the connector. This assumes mounting screws are on the mating connector. This didn't work for my radio connection so exchanged this cable for one that included the mounting screws.

Plug and play with windows 11

Works great with latest 64-bit Windows 10

Review by Jon A. Hupp

Have multiple PL2303 Prolific based adapters which no longer work with Windows 10. This adapter, with the supplied driver, works perfectly! The blinking tx and rx lights are fun as well! Some of the reviews have discounted the drivers supplied (on tiny DVD), but I found them useful. Great product for those of us will legacy software that still wants RS232!

This works perfectly with Windows 10

Review by amxcoder

I needed an RS232 port for work that I do. I wanted it for an old laptop I had. As soon as I got my software, (a C++ compiler) set up for this new port it worked instantly and I was away and programming. That is the kind of product I want. No fooling around with special setting or anything, it just works. 5 stars and worth every one.
