Worked perfectly to connect an old BioTek Synergy HT plate reader to a windows 11 machine (just had to reassign the USB port to be Com1 to work with Gen5 software.) I'm very pleased with this product!

Provides for serial console connection perfect

Keep this short and sweet.My existing USB-A to RS-232 (db9) cable would not work or be recognized under Windows 11. The drivers for the chipsets used in the cable were not updated by the vendor for whatever reason. Maybe to sell new cables, who knows.Time for an upgrade. Purchased this cable and it was plug and play, no problems.I use the cable for programming radio scanners that listen to public safety.This cable was for an older radio that uses a little older programming interface.No problems experienced to date. Have used the cable a couple of times.

I did have to download drivers for a standalone Windows 11 but works like a charm.

I wanted to give this thing 3 stars, but that would not be fair. Mostly that has to do with my frustration from the physical format of thing - which is clear in the photo that I did not pay attention to.1) It's short. 3 feet is not enough for most uses, be aware of that2) Most frustrating. The DB9 end has female screw holes, not male screws. And they are not removable. Yes, just like in the photo. But this means I could not connect it to any serial port on any piece of gear I have. Why would you make it that way?? I had to buy a serial extension cable with male fasteners on each end just to use this.On the bright side, it needed no installation under Windows 10 and seems to work like a charm. There is a tiny driver CD_ROM what comes with it, I did not need it.Electrically this works very well, just don't overlook the physical limitations - like I did.

Bought a couple of these cables for my boss to use at work on his old Windows XP system.We use them to communicate with a few of our vinyl plotters (Gerber) and they work flawlessly.There was 1 small problem with the driver though, they require that you download it. However, the ones they have are not compatible with XP, so I had to find an older version of the driver. It did take a little bit of time to track one down.Drivers for Windows 7, 8,10 etc. are easily obtainable.These work as good as the cards you would need to buy for the newer systems, as they don't come with RS232 Serial Ports these days. so these cables are probably the better investment.Definitely less expensive.

Used this to connect Innovate dual LC-2 serial to my HP laptop USB running Windows 11 Home version. This cable worked right out of the box with NO driver download.

No need to look for or download drivers for this cable. My brand new Dell Windows 11 computer recognized the cable immediately and off I went with programming my police scanners and ham radios. I purchased the 10 ft. cable because you never know when you might need the extra length and besides it is cheaper than the shorter ones! Make sure to choose nuts or thumbscrews before you order. 10 stars, awesome!!
