You will probably find the driver in /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.ko ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for Raspberry Pi devices *by K***R on October 12, 2025* Works great on my raspberry pi to allow a host computer to do serial communication to the Pi. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tty *by C***M on February 10, 2026* Needed tty on nvidia jetson to trace a bug in the boot. Simple to install. Hardly no setup needed. Works great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great - Genuine PL2303GC & Windows 11 *by M***N on June 28, 2024* Some reviews of this product complained about this DTech USB to TTL Serial cable not working with Windows 11 and/or getting a counterfeit device. I can't really verify whether mine was counterfeit but it showed up as a "Prolific PL2303GC USB Serial COM Port" in Device Manager on Windows 11 immediately, without having to hunt for drivers. I configured Putty to connect via serial, keyed in the COM Port that Device Manager defined the adapter as, connected the ground/TX/RX leads to the appropriate place on the Linksys EA6350v2's board, and gave the router power. Everything worked perfectly and allowed me to do the necessary things over serial to flash FreshTomato onto the router's flash memory. Included with the cable was a small pamphlet serving as documentation as well as a pinout/schematic of what's inside the slightly oversized USB connector. ## Frequently Bought Together - DTech USB to TTL Serial 3.3V Adapter Cable TX RX Signal 4 Pin 0.1 inch Pitch Female Socket PL2303 Prolific Chip Windows 10 8 7 XP Vista (6ft, Black) - ELEGOO 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire 40pin Male to Female, 40pin Male to Male, 40pin Female to Female Breadboard Jumper Ribbon Cables Kit Compatible with Arduino Projects - DSD TECH SH-U09C5 USB to TTL UART Converter Cable with FTDI Chip Support 5V 3.3V 2.5V 1.8V TTL --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/138973217-dtech-usb-to-ttl-serial-3-3v-adapter-cable-tx](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/138973217-dtech-usb-to-ttl-serial-3-3v-adapter-cable-tx) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
