    Used on a legacy device ,,, plug and play with no issues whatsoever on Window 11 OS.

  2. Unknown

    Worked perfect and performed flawlessly would recommend

  4. Unknown

    good. good. good. good. good. good. good. good. good.

  5. TEEL

    The cable worked fine, however, it is too short to use for any purpose other than setting your laptop on top of the router or switch you’re patching into. It may be too short for that as well. At the price, you can buy a longer one cheaper from another site.

  6. StanislavU

    I bought it to connect scientific equipment to computer via virtual com port. Adapter based on pl2303 ic that makes it compatible with windows an linux machines. Personally I used it on both systems. Good price-quallity ratio.

  7. user888143

    Works as expected. Gets the job done. Easy to use.

  8. CJBBB

    Bought one at the last minute to troubleshoot a Cisco equipment issue and it worked like a charm.

    Insignia doesn’t have the latest drivers, but you can search “PL2303 RS232 Driver” to hopefully find it on Prolific’s site.

  9. DeanaK

    We had purchased a different brand and it didn’t work correctly so we purchased this one and have had no problems at all.

  10. WesT

    worked as exactly intended. No issues with broken pins

  11. Gammee16

    Just what I needed. Great peoduct. Worked as described.

    They did the job they were meant for. They are definitely great quality and the connection to the computer from the receiver has a strong connection.

  14. Nogood

    Had to purchase this item to set up a dual monitor for my workstation. Part work great. Easy install

  15. Redddoggy

    Requires a network connection and windows update for drivers. Drivers are not available on website. Does not work for systems that are chipset sensitive. Will not work for PC’s running industrial equipment.

    Works as advertised. Adds a needed serial port to my PC and MAC. My only complaint is that the cable is really short. I had to buy a USB extension cable to make it useful.

    It requires software that is not on the vendor’s site and is not available anywhere and only works on Windows and not MacOS.
