FTDI chip set. Note that prolific chips sometimes work and sometimes don't work. Many prolific usb to serial adapters will cause this error: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318784 This error is common with applications using the MSCOMM32.OCX for serial communications. In particular, programs written in VB6 will succumb to this error. There may be drivers that fix this issue, but it's a pita to figure it all out. FTDI chip drivers don't have this issue.

Just works. Good price and free shipping, which came fairly quickly.



I use this for an external modem and for a Microchip Picstart Plus programmer. This item works just has it should. Its stable such that it stays on the com port that you set. I just moved it from com 7 com 4 and it did not have any issues. I am now going to buy a second one

I love it so much!


Configured my dell switch with no issues.

Quick to Install, Communicated well with Verifone & Gilbarco equipment








Well it's a cable, and it's for serial, not much else to say really. I am using this for programming a datalogger that would otherwise require me to go through an obstacle course of test equipment outdoors to get to. Has worked great after a month of constant outdoor use.
