This is the one to buy
I bought this to interface with some test equipment which had an RS-232 DB-9 port. Works great! It’s really well built and the (surprisingly long) cable is nice and sturdy. Even the port attachment screws are high quality. It showed up as an FTDI serial USB device on my Linux box without any extra drivers needed. It is even doing some pretty obscure DTR/DSR flow control.

Works for me.
I used this to connect both a Fluke 45 multimeter, and a Tektronix TDS2024 oscilloscope to my PC. I was able to get the appropriate software to communicate with each device and transfer data inorder to record it. Great fix for the price. A straight RS232 to USB cable did not work.

It will works on Windows 10, and it can work with any RS232 serial device - use a null modem adapter
1. It was not stated, but the cable is actually and RS-232 DCE (data communicating equipment cable). This is not what I wanted, but I am completely happy with it. As a DCE cable it will not inherently work with a Cisco or any other device because these devices are also configured as DCE. BUT, THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM! A male-to-male null modem adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Null-Modem-Adapter-Male-Pack/dp/B07GV5PGJ5/) switches the device to a DTE (Data Terminal/Terminating Equipment). -Search Amazon for: null modem male to male 2. It does work with Windows 10 The hardware ID is: USB\VID_067B&PID_2303&REV_0400. 3. The advantage of have a DCE cable around is that it will connect directly to a DTE cable which is great for serial port experimenting and testings. ...and of course, it is no big deal to connect a null modem adapter to make it a DTE cable when I need it. -BTW: A null modem adapter should be in every engineers kit anyway - what are you doing without one? 4. I love the THIN 10' cable; it fits nicely into my gadgets and equipment bag.

Unfortunately the device just doesn't work. Figured it too late to return
My cable just doesn't work and it's too late for a return, unfortunately. I wish I could, though, or at least have it replaced. Another cable I bought, branded by TrendNet just worked out of the box with the same driver (uses same PL2303 internally). UPDATE: although the cable didn't work, the item has been fully refunded. The support was prompt to answer and the process was seamless.

Cat control on my HT radio
Works as expected, would be nice if they listed it as a null modem cable. It will work with a FT-450D if you use a null modem adaptor.

Excellent cable
Cable is good. Need serial to serial DB 9 cable. Best thing they provide you drivers so its easy to run driver and make it work for your job.

Perfect
Bought this to replace my old cable when they retired the driver for this. I needed it to work on a Windows 11 VM on a Mac, so it will handle the ARM architecture. Plugged it in and worked straight away. Excellent cable.

Does not connect to a CIsco Switch
Answered Question for this item: Question: Can I use this for Cisco serial console to laptop ? Answer: Yes, compatible By CableCreation SELLER on January 30, 2019 No, you cannot. I have tried the cable on two different Windows 10 computers and it will not coax a console prompt from the Cisco SG300-52P switch. I can access the web UI on the switch, but not the console. I have loaded the latest drivers from Prolific, the check driver utility detects the PL2303RA chipset on COM4 I have Putty set for 115200, 8, 1, none, none as suggested. Opening the connection on COM4 does not error, it opens the terminal, I get a cursor, I press ENTER to wake up the console, and nothing happens. for 10's of minutes I have waited. I believe this cable is supposed to work (given the above Q/A from the Seller), and it probably does,, but can someone provide me with the magic incantation to make it so? I promise to revise my rating if you can make it work. It is otherwise a nice cable; it is built well, it is just the right shade of black, and all the connectors fit into their respective sockets. The tiny CD is pretty useless these days as no computer I am using has a CD drive installed, but being able to download drivers from the internet is really better anyway. Thanks! Well, I get to leave it review at 1 star. The seller's big response to me was to contact Cisco for more help. Thanks! No, the answer was to buy a small in-line db9 null model adapter and add it before the Cisco console.
