The Only Cable That Would Work
We tried several different cables from different vendors and for some reason this was the only cable that provided us continual connectivity to our radio modems and Computer Aided Dispatch software.

A cable adapter I wouldn't be without
This product was purchased to help my husband download his topographic maps onto his gps. With our desktop computer going down, all we had left was our laptop without a port to support his gps. When my son told me the type of adapter I needed, I was able to search the web and find this DB9 adapter. It was able to be purchased in 2 lengths but the shorter cable worked great with our laptop. My husband was able to once again downloaded his maps and the talk of buying a bigger and better gps was over, saving us hundred of dollars. The cable and adapter was just what was needed to help use his prior gadgets without having to buy new.

Excellent product
I needed this adapter to connect a (home automation device) CM11A X10 serial interface to my Vista machine which had no serial ports. This works flawlessly and I felt was purcased for a fair price. The only negative comment I can make is that it did not come with software drivers. My Vista Home Premium machine was able to find the driver for me online as part of the "found new hardware process, however I feel that someone other than a "power user" may have not been successful at that point and would have needed support. All in all a great product however and I continue to be happy to do business with this company.

Great device.
Using on piece of equipment that wouldn't work with Windows 10. Didn't want to replace old equipment because of cost, This works great!

old & new
New PC's do not have serial ports. I had a legacy special device that needed serial on a new Windows 10 workstation. This was perfect solution.

Yes, but.....
The cords, in and of themselves, were very good. We tried a few substitutes, but they truly were 'Close, but no cigar.' We have had no problems with them, considering that the equipment we are using them on are practically dinosaurs, as far as electronic go.
The beef is the time. When I called this in, I was told by the agent here was no difference between website or phone, as '...there was a problem at the warehouse', and it could take upwards of three weeks to get these items to us. This is why I have given the rating I did. what good is a product if it takes that long to get here because of warehouse issues?

I measured this cable generating signal levels at -7V and +7V. Although the RS232 standard specifies signal levels can be as low as -3V and +3V, the levels generated by this adapter may not work in all applications (e.g. industrial). My PC generates signals at -11V and +11V. Do you offer a USB to DB9 serial adapter that generates signals closer to -15V and +15V than -7V and +7V? Thanks!
