CableCreation USB 2.0 to RS232 Adapter 3ft Gold Plated DB9 Serial Converter Cable, 6.6ft/2M - CD0478

There is no need for any software or drivers to be downloaded just plug and play

Good product and shipment received very fast

The cable build was of good quality material with gold plating on terminators of USB A and DB9 metal enclosure and pins ends. The one that I got was equipped with PL2303GT USB to RS232 chip converter. Pin layout is slightly different with an FTDI version of the cable. Most modern desktop motherboards and laptops only come with with either USBA or USBC ports. This is a cable good for linking legacy devices with serial port only interface. This is convenient if you don't want to build your own custom cable and module converter Cable was detected immediately in a Windows platform and driver installation was a breeze either through windows or from CableCreation website offline installation setup. Detection of the cable was the same story in a Linux based platform but driver needs extra effort. My only gripe was that it didn't work for my use case for own use case implementation of connecting to a Arduino board. But I have to say, technical support is good and kept in contact with me for updates in answering my queries and concerns.

Die Adapterleitung funktioniert einwandfrei, man muss sich jedoch den aktuellen Treiber beim Hersteller laden - automatisch erkennt Windows da leider nichts. Was je nach Anwendung bedacht werden muss: Die Leitung entspricht dem RS232 Port auf dem Mainboard - heißt je nach Andwendung muss ein Null-Modem-Adapter oder Leitung dahinter! Ohne das hat z.B. beim Fluke-Messgerät auslesen nämlich auch nichts geklappt...

There exist some old-fashioned devices which may still be connected to via an RS232 serial port. Most PCs can be put into a mode, that allows them to use an outbound USB-to-serial Male adapter like this one. In my case, my Debian 11 / Linux system, running stock kernel 5.10, recognizes the little chip in the adapter, and creates a device file '/dev/ttyUSB0'. From here, I'm good to use either the minicom or cutecom terminal programs, which will display like an appropriate, old-fashioned terminal on any of my Linux machines, including on my laptop. Update (2): I have one friend who would be intrigued by the question, of whether it's still possible to connect to the Internet, using an RS232-connected dial-up modem. It's not worth investing any money into an old dial-up modem like that, but if the reader happens to have one (and not have high-speed Internet), then there is a fact to take note of. Unless one is using the GNOME applet to the Network Manager, in general, what one would use for dial-up Internet is a package called 'wvdial'. This package can be configured to connect using the device /dev/ttyUSB0, regardless of whether that device is directly a USB-connected or an RS232-connected modem. Only, the more modern way to use outdated infrastructure like that is, with a USB modem, and not with an RS232 modem. -Dirk
