SABRENT CB-RS232 1 FT USB to Serial DB9 (9 pin) RS232 Cable

Pros: Works great with my Kubuntu 12.10 laptop for configuring my managed switches.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Kinda smells funny.

Pros: Plugged and Played
I am programming radios that have a db9 connection. the cable worked flawlessly, note that that i always use the same port.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: is a must have if you need db9 connection ant cant spring for a laptop with it

Pros: Works just fine, using it on Win7 Ultimate/64, desktop and laptop, using included mini disk. Got it up and running in a jiffy, about a minute actually. Just for fun I threw it on a machine running XP SP3 and the results were exactly the same.

Cons: I sure can't think of one. I needed to adapt a data logger electronic device (what idiot designs RS232 connections on new equipment anyway)? Sabrent did their job perfectly on this item as all of the functions transmitted through the converter are absolutely perfect.

Other Thoughts: What more could one ask for? Fair price, super easy install, perfect functionality and the construction appears just fine.

Pros: Unit worked great, fair price

Cons: None

Pros: Works well under XP

Cons: Complete and utter junk if you're running 7 64 bit. Random BSODs when transferring data.

Pros: Works great if you're not running Windows 7.

Cons: Random BSODs when running Windows 7 64 bit.

Other Thoughts: It's a good adapter, but unusable on any of the newer machines I use. I was initially very impressed w/ the price/performance when they were attached to XP machines. Not worth it if you're running Windows 7 64 bit. Buy something else.

Pros: Use it to serial into routers.

Cons: None.

Pros: Works out of the box on our Linux systems, no fuss at all

Cons: none

Pros: Does the job. Sturdy construction. Also, bought it 3-4 years ago and manufacturer still supports it for when I upgraded from XP to Windows7. Hurrah!

Cons: Under XP, required a driver install each time I plugged it into a different USB port on the same computer. This was a real hassle because it was plugged into a hub at the end of a long active extender cable. Needed to make sure it was plugged in to the same computer port and far-end hub port every time I used it. Fortunately, this seems to be fixed in Windows7.

Other Thoughts: Get familiar with the XP/Windows7 device manager, you will need to fiddle with the device if you want a specific serial rate, or COM port number. Under Windows7 it doesn't care which USB port it's plugged into, it just works. However, the COM port number changes each time.

Pros: Works great on my linux machine.

Cons: My experience with it under Windows 7 wasn't all that bad. It blue screened a couple times, but it was over the course of like 3 hours. A little annoying, but certainly not unusable.
