USB to RS232, USB Serial Adapter with FTDI Chipset,USB 2.0 to Male DB9 Serial Cable for Windows 11,10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Linux and Mac OS(6ft)…

Got this to use with my Motorola 9 pin serial that requires a RIB box to rear and write to the radio (Motorola XTS5000)Installation is super easy. Plugged it into my Windows 11 laptop and the drivers was automatically installed and assign a com port.The cable is well made with some good strain relief on the end of the connectors. Length wise it's longer than what I needed but that's not a cons. Haven't tested this in the older windows machine so I can't tell if it works or not but so far it works great on my Windows 11 laptop and Windows 10 desktop. So anything older than that, you might have a compatibility issues.Like I had mentioned before. It works with the Motorola programming cable without the need for a RIB box. No issues on connectivity even after I disconnect the cable and plug it in again into another USB port.

Works as described

I had to replace an old defunct cable. I installed this between my Yaesu FTDX-5000MP and PC (running Windows 11) and it immediately showed a COM Port 3 on Device Manager. It has worked without a hitch using DX Lab program to control the FTDX-5000MP. I highly recommend.

Ran out of the box no driver issues. It just worked. Cord is high quality too. What's not to like?

Couldn't get it to work with the driver Windows insisted on installing and I couldn't find a working driver.

Windows 11 PC with only USB-C ports? This serial-to-USB converter is plug-and-play, it couldn't be easier! Plug in, wait a few seconds for the Windows audible "I'm ready" beep, and you are ready to go!

I had been using an old Vista laptop to connect to an electronic device in my homebuilt aircraft. With the Black Friday deals going on, I bought a nice HP windows 10 laptop and upgraded it to Win 11. So far, so good. Unfortunately, when I tried to hook my new computer to the device with my old usual USB to Serial cable, there was no connection. Rats. So, I went through all the usual stuff. Looking for obscure drivers, driver unloaders, etc., etc.Finally, on an avionics forum, someone mentioned this cable. I got it right away and went to the FTDI chip site for drivers and downloaded their latest update Win 11 driver package for my HP. Then after all that, bingo! It connected just find and I am now able to download all my flight and engine information. Now I can put my old Windows Vista laptop back on Ebay.

This worked very well with a Windows laptop. I was worried about USB C to Serial but it worked great with zero communication issues. Will use this cable going forward instead of the older USB port style. I used this cable to communicate from a PC to upload lighting control sofware to a Lutron processor.
