Perfcct for the tech 2 and yes it works on windows 10

This works like a charm! I was able to get this working with a 1994 Barbie Doll, my windows 11 laptop, and a Win 98 VM. The LEDs are extremely helpful in seeing the data transfer, and I'm really glad I bought this cord :)

I needed to update the firmware in a ham radio transceiver. I tried to use the cable and interface provided by the radio manufacturer and it would not communicate with the radio. My computer does not have an RS-232 interface (few do now) so I had to find a compatible USB to 9-oin serial interface. This one did the trick and was easy to set up. The workmanship for the cable is excellent and the LEDs in the 9 pin connector are somewhat helpful but not entirely necessary for my purposes. The only issue was that the 9 pin connector is a male connector and I needed to to have a female connector. Fortunately, I had a compatible gender-changer cable on hand. I bought the 4 foot length cable. I wish that they made a 6 foot version but I was able to get by with the 4 foot. The other available lengths are much too long. Bottom line: excellent, sturdy cable. Recommended.

Windows 11 recognized and installed driver automatically. Could not load driver from included CD as there was some sort of file error based on how it was named. The device worked fine - but the installation instructions were incorrect/ did not work.

Worked right out of the box with Putty. No issues and like the fact that they show you which ports are active.

unfortunately i purchased a defective cable. i have 2 other d tech cables that work fine. i purchased the cable in june 2024 and this first week in oct 2024 is when i actually got around to connecting my devices. unfortunately it's a bad one. extremely disappointed because i can't get my money back or exchange.

I'm using this USB-to-serial adapter to connect a modern (2014) Mac laptop to a vintage Apple II computer via a null modem cable. So far, it's working great. I've use it for file transfers at 115kbps. No trouble with drivers. I chose this adapter because I'd read the FTDI chipset is still well supported. The cable length is good, and it appears well-made. The LED inside the adapter is an interesting touch. I don't need it, but it's nice to have something that immediately confirms there is a connection.

Work great
