Great product and value for money
Usually I tend not to trust converters for this price. But as this was for my workplace and with all the previous reviews I decided to bite the bullet and get 2. In fact these did not disappoint. They are absolutely brilliant for the price and using them for a month they have been working flawlessly. I used it with Windows 7 (both 32 and 64bit) PCs we have in store and it was recognized and worked as soon as I plugged it in. It also comes with the Drivers CD should it have issues. Build wise they are very sturdy. It is not noticable on the picture but there is a small LED light to indicate the Data coming through from the PC into our Receipt Printer which is handy. Overall, value for money and a very good product.

Works well for Cisco Switch console connections
This is a Male connector (i.e the pins stick out) Wasn't clear on the product info page, but it's just what I need. I bought this to replace a cheap £3 cable I bought on Eay, which of course has never worked. Rubbish. First moral = buy cheap - buy twice This on the other hand works fine. Arrived within a few days, The XP/Vista/7 drivers are on a CD included. Installed the driver on my Win7 64 bit laptop, a message appeared to say the software may not have installed correctly but plugged it in and Windows ran through the Found New Hardware Wizard fine. I'm using it to connect to a Cisco Catalyst 2950 switch. Using Putty, you'll need to set it to "Serial", 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and XON/Off flow control I have only tested that I can bash commands into the switch. I've not tested upgrading its IOS so can't vouch for speed, but the packaging claims that it can handle 230 Kbps transfer rate.

Good for your Raspberry Pi (PL2303)
This costs a bit more than some of the cheaper USB to serial adaptors, but works with both a Raspberry Pi (Debian) or Windows PC (Win 7). It is detected is Prolific 2303 chipset and worked fine.There is no driver disk as you do not need it! Well recommended.

A nice piece of kit
I should point out from the start that I am not an electrician. Recently I have had to buy quite a few cables and connectors, hence the reason why I tried this version of a USB to serial connector. In short it arrived well within the dates given despite coming from Garmany. The serial connector is actually see through, which is interesting because you can see how it is wired up. The main thing though for me was that it is really well made and feels like a quality product. It comes with software for Windows 7 but the disc is not plug and play. You have to follow the instructions that are in clear English and it works first time. Much to my relief I was able to select the COM-port on the computer with this connector, unlike some others that I have purchased. In short it is really easy to install and use - a really nice piece of kit. I would buy this again and I give it 5-stars.

The driver can be a bit flakey on Windows and has blue screened my PC on a number of occasions.

Excellent Product
I am deaf so I needed a Com 1 port on my laptop to use with my Type-Talk modem I downloaded and installed the latest software from the Aten website ... plugged the cable into the USB port Windows recognized it and installed the drivers ... it actually installed as a Com 3 port - just go into the Device Manger and change the port to Com 1 Plugged in my modem and BINGO! direct connection! No messing about and worked a dream Thoroughly recommend this USB-to-Serial converter

USB to serial converters are flacky at the best of times, these work and are well worth the small extra.
Don't waste your time and money on cheap equivalents. The company I work for tried to save a few pennies and bought various cheapo units. They ended up wasting a load of time and money on cheaper units which did not work. These units work reliably, data throuhput is fast and consistent, it's compact and well constructed. USB to serial units are flacky at the best of times these work and are well worth the small extra. I work as a technical field engineer. I have an identical unit which has been used and abused regularly for the past 6 years it's still working no probs.

Simply works
Once you get your head around the simple config on your laptop to designate the port, this works great. I had some fun and games with the particular software I was using to configure a specialist switch. But once set up on the first switch, the others were easy.
