## Description

International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

Review: The documentation was a bit confusing as the serial connection voltage was shown as 5v, but the cable was 3.3 volts as advertised and worked like a charm to program an ESP32 device. The specific part, in my case, was detected as a PL2303GC and was reported as real (unlike some other cables I bought before this one).
Review: This review is for the "DTech USB to TTL Serial Adapter 3.3V Debug Cable TX RX Signal 4 Pin Female Socket PL2303 Prolific Chip Windows 10 8 7 XP Vista (3ft, Black)" First, the warning: Although this is sold as a 3.3V debug cable, the red wire is in fact soldered to the 5V line as you can see in picture 2. Minus 1 star since that could easily damage or destroy your device. It does have a solder pad inside that you could use to convert the VCC from 5V (standard) to 3.3V if that is your use case as long as you can solder. I strongly advise you check yours before you hook it up, as others have pointed this exact situation out in their reviews. If it is wrong, and you cannot solder it to the correct pad, return it. There is a genuine Prolific PL2303GC chip inside, not some generic knock-off. I already had the drivers installed since I have another known genuine debug cable already, and this one showed up immediately without needing to install drivers. I am running Windows 11. The one I received had a 38 inch long cord as measured from the end of the connectors to where the case starts for the USB. It is well made, and you can easily remove the casing to check the chip and put it back together again. The documentation is included and thorough. Specs: USB 2.0 Prolific PL2303GC chip Can provide 3.3V or 5V (see warning above) UART interface supports 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits, and odd/even/mark/space/no parity Supports VID and PID Pinout: White: Transmit (TX) Green: Receive (RX) Black: Ground (GND) Red: 3.3V or 5V (VCC) - check yours before connecting to a device To test if it works: Connect the White and Green wires with anything that will conduct (small paperclip works great, or strip the ends on a bread bag twist tie and use that) Make sure the wire you used cannot touch anything that would ground it (like your computer case). If concerned, use scotch tape to insulate it or secure it somewhere safe Connect the device to your computer, and go to Device Manager Look under Ports (COM & LPT) Install the Prolific drivers if needed (download from prolific.com.tw, use GUEST login) Once the device has the drivers loaded, check to see which port number it was assigned (if you see multiple, unplug and plug back in to see what number disappears/reappears Open Putty or another terminal client program Change the Serial Line setting to your COM port number (e.g. COM7) Leave the speed setting at the default value Click Open A new terminal window will open Start typing. If you see your letters appearing on the screen, loopback is working. If you want more proof, disconnect the Green and White wires from each other and try typing again. I will give it a workout over the next week going firmware flashing and debugging. If I find any flaws or issues, I will update this review.
