USB to Serial Cable 2M, USB to RS232 Female DB9 9-pin DCE Converter Cord Gold Plated with PL2303 Chipset for Connecting Cisco Switches, Cashier Register, Modem, Scanner, Digital Cameras, CNC, Printer

This cable worked perfectly for my use case. I recently purchased a STRHIGP firewall devicewith the intention of installing pfsense. As I prefer not to dedicate a monitor during the timesI need to access the pfsense console [shutdown, updates etc] I decided to download the pfsense 'console'image & use this RS232 to USB cable to connect the router to my laptop.After receiving the RS232 cable, I installed the pfsense console version. As I am running a Linux OS with kernel v5.15, the PL-2303 drivers for the embedded RS232 cable are included in the kernel so there was no need to install any additional drivers. Using the 'PUTTY' app on my laptop, the console monitor worked a treat.

Very good and worth it

This item is exactly as described,computer cable to fit the male output as this lead is a fe-male one.

Well built, looks very durable and plastic is strong but not brittle. Used for AC inverter connection to Orange Pi, works flawless where 3 others of were sending CRC errors which was either chip or interference

This cable is pretty simple and works as expected, using this to connect to a server which has no VGA and is totally headless, pretty much a play and play affair, load up some software like putty and connected to COM4 at 192000 and was pretty much working perfectly

pl2303 Chipset based Serial to USB adapter cable.plugged into a Gas analyser device from 2002, Connected to Windows 10 laptop via USB.FUBAR, Analyser not recognised, despite installing PL2303 device driver.I'll have to keep my old Windows XP machine on life support a bit longer!If running Windows i'll now only use FTDI Chipset Serial to USB adapter cable, keep well away from the cheaper PL2303 version.

keep looking, this one is not for you ! If you need this for a Motorola barcode scanner you can cross this one off your list!

Dude, Genu1ne user ReVIewz - Perfect for intended use if you need one, get this - I love my new serial cable. Native Putty support so it's great for that EoL, legacy or unique kit you gotta support or manage.
