Gets the job done!

I use this on a day to day basis as a Network Engineer. It's pretty straight forward and definitely gets the job done. I have used others that not as reliable so this is my go-to adapter. I would, however, like to see something a little bit more solid/sturdy. While it's not as fragile as other adapters, I imagine it wouldn't take much to crush or cause the casing to separate. Otherwise, no complaints!
I bought this USB to Serial adapter because I had some equipment that wasn't working with the adapter that I owned previously. This adapter was very easy to set up and everything worked flawlessly and automatically. I have now tried it with all my serial devices and it works with them all. Thank you for a great product
I've been using this model for years in the oilfield measurement industry and it's never failed me. Recently it's been very handy when connecting to Bristol Controllers, as it will allow the program to poll for the local address, where the other adapter I have will not. Just keep an eye on the cord plugged into the back, it has a habit of coming out if your not paying attention.
I've used this adapter for years very successfully with WinXP and Win7. Works perfectly; five stars. But I cannot get it to work reliably with Windows 10; zero stars. Everything seems OK at first with Win10, but the adapter triggers a blue screen of death from time to time due to a problem in the driver. I can't live with that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
