DriverGenius SerialEdgeX USB-A to Serial RS232 Cable, 3-LED (1-Pack) | Full-Pin RS232 Connectivity with Signal Support For Device Setup, Legacy Hardware Applications & Serial Communication Tasks

I needed this device to interface a piece of test equipment to my PC, running Windows 10. RS 232 isn't always the easiest interface to manage, but I plugged this lead into the PC, set the terminal software to 8-n-1 format and 9600baud. Windows set this device up as COM6. Plugged the D connector into the remote device and they started communicating with no fuss at all! The LEDS for Power, TxD and RxD are handy to prove data is moving, although they are out of sight most of the time. I have been able to test this cable at 9600 and 115,200baud with no apparent issues. Great little adapter.

This product did exactly what it said on the tin! It reprogrammed my telescope from my laptop's USB port over an RS232 connection. I have had problems in the past with other similar devices under Windows 7. I found a similar one in the past but it does not have a driver for my new Win 10 64 bit laptop. This VTOP device worked first time, it installed the driver, and then reprogrammed my telescope no problem! PLEASE NOTE that this device installed on my laptop as COM5 serial channel . I am not sure whether one can change this in the software driver, so make sure that you do not already have something running on COM5. It also has three LEDs on it so you can see it's working! Highly recommended!

Worked great to add a serial port on an old Windows 10 desktop that can’t be upgraded to Windows 11. Only small issue which loses a star was getting hold of the drivers for it as they were of course not present on my elderly machine. Used the url off the box (there was no url on the installation guide) and that landed me just a couple of clicks away from the download page. Limited info about compatibility with earlier versions of windows, so after rummaging about for a while and finding nothing more useful, took a punt, downloaded the Windows 11 drivers, installed, plugged in the serial device and voila - perfect serial connectivity. Pleased, and happy to recommend.

Works out of the box using the kernel's pl2303 module. Vendor ID: 067b Device ID: 23a3 The red light is quite bright and illuminated constantly. I'm not sure what the different colours mean; yellow flickers when data is transferred and I'm not sure what makes the green one light up... but if it ever does, I'm afraid it will do so with the brightness of a thousand suns. At least the LEDs aren't blue!

No issues getting my RS232 kit controlled from a USB only port notebook running windows 10. This is a very high quality interface convertor and win10 had the driver automatically installed in seconds. Well worth the money.

I'm trying to use this as a general purpose 232 port on Windows 11. It defaults to COM5:. The command C>copy testfile com5: works, and characters are sent to the port, albeit with unknown baud rate. Windows device manager recognises that the device as working. Unfortunately though, when you use device manager to set it to COM1:, it either sticks with COM5:, or stops working altogether. So, if you have software that requires COM1:, you're out of luck. Device manager also allows you to change the baud rate, but this doesn't seem to change the behaviour of the device either. The time taken to output the test file stays the same regardless of the baud rate you set in device manager. Essentially, while device manager recognises that it's there, device manager isn't able to configure it. There might be a driver for it out there somewhere, and it may have really cool hardware, but as it stands it's not configurable; it's not plug and play, and it doesn't work out of the box. Probably more trouble than it's worth. I'll think about sending it back because it won't work for its intended purpose, and it's of very limited use for anything else.

Purchased this to connect a GPS dongle with a very...very long cable to a raspberry pi running Debian Jessie which acts as a time server / clock for a hospital radio station I engineer for, they don't have the internet, but do need to keep accurate time so they can "hit" the news which they receive via satellite. Works perfectly, no additional drivers as such to get it working, but if you are using it for the same purpose as me, you'll need to apt-get install pps-tools to allow the time to be super accurate. I like serial and ps2, you can run them over huge distances compared to USB without an special boxes if you know what you are doing, long live RS232!

Prolific USB driver installed automatically on win10. Package came with the pinout which was handy

funcional para conexion con PLC FXN1.... lo recominedo....

Perfecto funcionamiento con el ordenador con Windows 10.

Phenominal! Get the one with LED to indicate data activity on the pins...like the good old days with Blackbox & RadioShack breakout boxes. Don't forget to get a couple of null modem & gender benders...you'll likely need them if youre working on different flavors of routers & switches.

This is the FIRST USB-SERIAL ADAPTER that WORKS with my old Phillips Pronto. I bought 3 Adapters USB-Serial before and NONE of them worked. This is working 100%. Just set the Com Port to 1 (Instead of Com Port 3). I'm so happy I could dance. I get my Pronto IR Remote Controls to work with my newer hardware. Yippie! The lights on the adapter are helpful. I figured them out as follows.: RED-ON YELLOW-transmitting GREEN-fast transmitting Unfortunately the manual is a flaw. Could have been a bit more detail.

fonctionne très bien
