USB to RS232 DB9 Serial Cable Male Converter Adapter with FTDI Chipset for Windows 11,10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Linux and Mac OS X 10.6 (10ft)

Worked straight away, used for ECU mapping

I tried connecting to an old cnc machine loader interface with an old laptop and old cable and it didn't work so I was very sceptical about using this new cable with a new laptop/windows 11. The cable was plug and play, no driver download needed and the connection to my machine worked perfectly. I don't normally write reviews but this one took me by surprise and deserved sharing.

Very good. FTDI chipset means these just plugged in to my Windows 11 machine and worked immediately. I've used it at up to 500k baud without any problems. From the little manual, it is also a fully wired RS232, not just a couple of signals that some provide although I have not personally verified that. Length is perfect to plu into my tower PC on the floor and plug into items on the desk. Appears durable with goo cable and no bigger than a numal RS232 plug. Has thumbscrews to fix tightly to RS232 socket.

My company upgraded my laptop to Windows 11 and my Prolific chipped dongle stopped working. IT tried for over an hour to get it working and in the end, as I was in a bit of a pickle, I ordered this one. It worked first time, Windows found it and no drivers had to be loaded.

look nice quality, better than the direct plug-in kind that can make using adjacent ports hard. FTDI chipset has low latency and good reliable data transfer. Can't fault this

Works well

works a treat on my Win11 laptop, perfect length cable for my needs and work as soon as i plugged it in and it worked so very easy setup. seems hardy so shouldn't fail anytime soon all in all good value tool!

Supplied without drivers, and no pointer to FTDI's site, which is itself usually unreachable or down. I had to snag a copy from SparkFun Electronics. I have no serial devices on hand with which to test, so I can't be certain it's not a DoA on the J-curve.

Works fine with the laptop

As an Industrial Automation Engineer, finding a reliable USB-C to serial adapter is a constant battle. A lot of the cheaper cables on the market use inferior chipsets that choke when trying to establish a clean handshake with older industrial hardware. This OIKWAN cable uses the genuine FTDI chipset, which is the absolute gold standard for reliability. I bought this specifically to communicate with some legacy Mitsubishi Electric gear that still requires a solid RS232 connection. It worked flawlessly out of the box for transferring both PLC and HMI programs on: Mitsubishi Electric FX2N PLC Mitsubishi Electric F940GOT HMI While I can’t personally guarantee it will work with every single legacy device ever made, the fact that it handled this specific Mitsubishi hardware without a single dropped packet or communication timeout is a massive win. If you work in industrial automation and your newer programming laptop only has USB-C ports, keeping one of these in your tool bag is a no-brainer. Highly recommended!

Perfetto

Funktioniert wie er sollte

It was not working at first. The drivers installed and it didn't work. Did not work for over 24 hours. Now it works. The machine did not restart. I really don't care as long as it continues to work.
