 from El Paso,  Dec 27, 2007

This item was easy to install, but did not work with my device, a Garmin GPS reciever. Software worked, but when I plugged in my GPS, nothing..

Must be small feet
 from Metro Detroit, MI,  Jan 16, 2007

It measures only 18 inches, not 3 feet which is why I give it only 4 stars. It is basic, but it comes up (including under Linux - as /dev/ttyACM, not /dev/ttyUSB) as a USB ACM device - this is more like a modem, so should be supported without special drivers, or with easily available ones. Many serial ports need to upload firmware or have something special done. This one is plain. It only goes to 115,200 baud but that is the normal top speed for serial. No frills, but works well.

No frills to this item - strictly utilitarian. I haven't used the item yet so I cannot attest to the quality of its utility. But it sure looks nice and solid. - cool color.

Works fine, but was only a one foot cable. So be warned.

economical buy
 from VA,  Feb 9, 2008

This cable arrived very quickly and was exactly as represented by Overstock. Unfortunately, it did not work for the purpose I bought it for, due to problems with the handheld appliance I used it on--- not due to any problem with the cable. An interesting tidbit to think about when purchasing a cable like this-- both the cable and my handheld have male screw-in attachments, so if I had been able to use it, I could not have secured the connection with the screw-in bolts that come on it. Nowhere have I ever seen a description in an ad that stated which "end" of the attachment was on the appliance or cable-- male or female.

USB To Serial Adapter
 from Solon,Ia,  Nov 21, 2007

Product did what I needed to hook up serial to USB port. The included disc with drivers was nice to have,also the adapter from 9 pin to 25 pin. I didn't know these were included but was glad they were as I needed the adapter. The instructions for installing the driver were included and easy to follow.

3 Foot USB to Serial Cable
 from Jacksonville, NC,  Oct 29, 2007

It was a pleasure to find this cable at Overstock.com in the first place. Their inventory of items is incredible. The ordering is simple and you get your orders quickly. I have ordered several items from Overstock.com and have been superbly pleased every time.

Ease of use and value
 from Arizona,  Sep 25, 2007

Great product, easy to install and use. Be sure to remove the mini-CD from the packaging - it's easy to overlook. But once I found it (between the layers of the cardboard backing), I dropped it in the CD, downloaded it and began using it. Great value, no hassle.

works as promised
 from Dallas, TX,  Aug 22, 2007

This item worked as promised. It has a small disk with the driver on it, which only took a minute to install. I used this to connect an old GPS that has an RS232 Serial cable to my USB only laptop. It works flawlessly.

USB serial converter
 from Oklahoma,  Sep 13, 2006

The converter would be okay but the CD driver that came with it was in Chinese. My husband is a computer guru and said there were no drivers at all on the CD only garble. He had to do what gurus do and download me another driver. Not too bad but the product should have come with it. Also all the writing on the package is in Chinese.
